When Europe was plunged into war in August 1914, Hal Cadogan brought his battalion back from garrison duties on Malta and endeavoured to prepare it for the conflict. After a very short period of training, his battalion was posted to Belgium as part of 7 Division, the last division of the `Old Contemptibles' to go overseas. Although the British Expeditionary Force was regarded as the best-trained force to ever sail from Britain, it was ill-prepared for what awaited it in France and Belgium. Fighting the last of the Victorian-style campaigns of movement, it acquitted itself with great distinction against an enemy whose sheer weight of numbers seemed to guarantee him victory. Despite this, the BEF managed to halt the German Army long enough to deny it victory in 1914, but for Hal Cadogan and the men under his command the price paid was high indeed, as the battalion was effectively wiped out. But they, and others like them, prevented Britain and her allies losing the war in the opening rounds and thereby laid the first paving on what was to be a long road to eventual victory.

Store description
Books that Benefit is part of a fund raising programme I set up to raise money for charity. I do this by collecting donated books from around the UK and then selling the books online through AbeBooks. Apart from the AbeBook fees and postage all the money raised from selling these books goes to various charities, national and local. I personally do not take any money from selling the books.
