The Battles of the Somme (Classic Reprint) by Philip Gibbs Pdf

Excerpt from The Battles of the Somme IN this book I have put together the articles which I have written day by day for more than three months, Since that first day of July 1916 when hundreds of thousands of British troops rose out of the ditches held against the enemy for nearly two years of trench warfare, advanced over open country upon the most formidable system of defences ever organized by great armies, and began a series of battles as fierce and bloody as anything the Old earth has seen on such a stretch of ground since the beginning of human strife.

The Battle of the Somme (Classic Reprint) by John Masefield Pdf

Excerpt from The Battle of the Somme I have been asked to write a few words of preface to this little book While I was in France, in the late summer and autumn of 1916, it was suggested that I should write a History of the Battle of the Somme, then in its second stage or act. In discussing the plan of the book, it was decided that I should begin with some account of the attacks upon Verdun (which the Battle of the Somme ended), and end with the taking of Bapaume, then hoped for, but not expected to happen at once. In order that I might write with full knowledge, some arrangements were planned, by which I could go again to Verdun, to visit some positions which I had not seen. It was made possible for me to go to the Somme, certain introductions were given to me, and I was formally requested to write the History. After some delay, I was permitted to go again to the Somme battlefield, and to live on or near it for those months of 1917 when our Armies were advancing in all that area.

The Battle of Somme (Classic Reprint) by John Buchan Pdf

Excerpt from The Battle of Somme Roman highroads are the chief landmarks. At the lift of country between Somme and Ancre copses patch the Slopes, and sometimes a church spire is seen above the trees from some woodland hamlet. The Somme winds in a broad valley between chalk bluffs, faithfully dogged by a canal - a curious river which strains, like the Oxus, through matted rushy isles, and is sometimes a lake and sometimes an expanse of swamp. The Ancre is such a stream as may be found in Wiltshire, with good trout in its pools. On a hot midsummer day the slopes are ablaze with yellow mustard, red poppies, and blue cornflowers; and to one coming from the lush flats of Flanders, or the black country of the Pas de Calais, or the dreary levels of Champagne, or the strange melancholy Verdun hills, this land wears a habitable and cheerful air, as if remote from the Oppression of war.

The Germans on the Somme (Classic Reprint) by Philip Gibbs Pdf

Excerpt from The Germans on the Somme But the months passed, and Verdun still held out above piles of German corpses on its slopes, . And in June Germany looked East and saw a great menace. The Russian offensive was becoming violent. German generals on the Russian fronts sent desperate messages for help. Send us more men they said and from the Western front four divisions containing 39 battalions were sent to them. They must have been sent grudgingly, for now another menace threatened the enemy, and it was on the Western side. The British Armies were getting ready to strike. In spite of Verdun, France still had men enough - withdrawn from a part of the line in which they had been relieved by the British - to co-operate in a new attack. It was our offensive that the German Command feared most, for they had no exact knowledge of our strength or of the quality of our new troops. They knew that our Army had grown prodigiously since the assault on Loos, ' nearly a year before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Big Fight by David Fallon Pdf

Excerpt from The Big Fight: Gallipoli to the Somme When great historians with their learned pens shall come to set forth the complete story of the most sweeping and horrible war the world has ever known, I figure they may perhaps have need of such evidence, information and material as a man like myself can give. I mean a man who has been through the red hell of the vast conflict in places where it has flamed most fiercely, a soldier who has been eye-witness of its superb heroisms, its stupendous tragedies, scientific marvels, has undergone its tense emotional and psychological experiences, bears on his body its wounds, has seen at first hand, with the amazement all civilisation has felt, the cowardice, bestiality, utter moral abandonment to which a nation may fall in a mad dream of the conquest of the world.

When the Somme Ran Red (Classic Reprint) by Arthur Radclyffe Dugmore Pdf

Excerpt from When the Somme Ran Red This line was chosen with the greatest possible Skill. It followed the series of ridges and hills and thus gave command of the country to the west; in other words, any attack against the Ger mans would have to be made uphill, always a difficult undertaking. Besides the natural strength of the position the line was made still more secure by the employment of every device known to military science, SO that it was re garded as an almost impregnable system of trenches. This then was the line we were to at tack in July, 1916, largely with the idea of relieving the pressure that was being exerted against Verdun.

With the British on the Somme (Classic Reprint) by William Beach Thomas Pdf

Excerpt from With the British on the Somme Because of this knowledge, or In spite Of it, no s1ngle deputy Of the German socialist group present at the conference could be persuaded to vote for a motion in favour of international, peace, though the discussion was purely abstract and academic. The pacifists themselves believed that the world could not compete with Krupp and the lesser Krupps in war as in peace, and had definitely, if not always consciously, accepted the policy of an aggressive war. They felt no doubt that a quick and thorough victory would follow and would ensue the paradise of world dominance. The prospect was too fair to reject. Even the best succumbed to the enticement of the dream. When August came the socialists in the Reichstag cheered the Chancellor to the echo. All the world that loved peace could do nothing else but fight a people Of such a mood and temper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Blood in the Trenches by Captain A. Radclyffe Dugmore Pdf

Written by Captain A. Radclyffe Dugmore of the King's Own Light Infantry, this personal memoir provides an excellent account of the Great War up to the Battle of the Somme. A wide ranging and perceptive relation of events, Radclyffe Dugmore's pedigree as a professional writer shines through. In 1914, Radclyffe Dugmore travelled to Belgium as a civilian observer where he was wounded before spending a brief time in German captivity. These experiences gained Radclyffe Dugmore a highly unusual viewpoint for the opening battles of the war, that of a civilian, and later as a participant on thefront lines of the Somme.Originally published under the title When The Somme Ran Red in 1918, Radclyffe Dugmore's memoir has sadly been long out of print. Yet what the author modestly described as 'Being a very egotistical account of my own personal experiences and observations from the early days of the war in Belgium to the Great Battle of the Somme in July, 1916' proves to be anything but that, consisting of a fascinating and rare account, sympathetically dedicated to the memory of the officers and men of the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry who fell in the Battle of the Somme.This new re-print of Radclyffe Dugmore's classic volume is a worthy addition to the primary source literature of the Great War, and casts new light on the experiences of the brave men who saw the terror of the Battle of the Somme first hand.
