Soft cover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Not applicable. VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Sir John French's Despatches. Second Series. Official Story Summary: Sir John French's Second Series of Despatches, published by The Graphic around 1914-15, presents the British commander's official account of the fighting on the Western Front in the opening months of the First World War. It covers the Battle around Ypres, the fighting at Armentieres, and the Defence of Antwerp, and includes maps and a roll of honour. Main points: • Ypres: French describes the desperate defensive battles around Ypres, where British and Allied troops attempted to prevent the German advance toward the Channel ports. The fighting was extremely costly and marked by heavy German attacks against British positions. • Armentières: The despatches describe subsequent operations around Armentières and the establishment of the Western Front's increasingly entrenched character. • Defence of Antwerp: French discusses the British involvement in the defence of Antwerp and the eventual withdrawal after the city became untenable. • British Expeditionary Force: A major purpose of the despatches is to record the actions and sacrifices of British troops and commanders, emphasizing their endurance under severe pressure. • Official perspective: This is an official military account, written from French's command perspective. Consequently, it is valuable as a primary source but should not be treated as a completely impartial history; it naturally emphasizes British achievements and explains events from the British command's viewpoint.
