About the Author
Philip Warner (1914-2000) enlisted in the Royal Corps of Signals after graduating from St Catharine's, Cambridge in 1939. He fought in Malaya and spent 1,100 days 'as a guest of the Emperor' in Changi and on the Railway of Death, an experience he never discussed. He was a legendary figure to generations of cadets during his thirty years as a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. Yet he will arguably be best remembered for his contribution of more than 2,000 obituaries of prominent army figures to The Daily Telegraph. In addition he wrote fifty-four books on all aspects of military history, ranging from castles and battlefields in Britain, to biographies of prominent military figures (such as Kitchener: The Man Behind the Legend; Field Marshall Earl Haig; Horrocks: The General who Led from the Front and Auchinleck: The Lonely Soldier) to major histories of the S.A.S., the Special Boat Services and the Royal Corps of Signals.

Product Description: On September 25, 1915, and for a few days afterwards, the small town of Loos, France, became the center of one of the most intense and bloody battles of the First World War. The casualties were appalling â" about 60,000, most of whom died on the first day. Although the main objective of a large-scale breakthrough was not achieved, some 8,000 yards of enemy trench were captured and in some places the German defenses were penetrated by up to two miles. Had these initial gains been exploited, the course of the war might have been different. Seller Inventory # 2150270209
