PREFACE.
The

Council on 9th November, 1920, decided, as a
of its appreciation, to present to each member of the staff who served in the Great War, or to the next-

of-kin of those

so far as the staff were concerned, with brief

Accordingly the Record particulars of their service. of Service which gives effect to this decision has been
prepared under my supervision by Mr. V. A. Weeks, B.A. (late Lieut., R. West Kent Rgt.), of my department. The sketch plans, which show practically every
place mentioned in the battle areas, have been drawn by Capt. A. G. Harding, O.B.E. (late R.A.O.C), also
of

my

department.

Authorities for the statements

made have

not, as a

rule, been given. To do this adequately would have required an elaborate series of footnotes, and these in a simple summary of the facts did not seem to be called
for.

The narrative and the comments thereon are based for the most part on the despatches of the various commanders-in-chief, the works referred to in the
text,

and H. C. O'Neill's History of the War, Sir Henry Newbolt's Naval History of the War, H. W. Nevinson's

Dardanelles Campaign, E. Dane's British Campaigns in the Near East, and Brig.-Gen. J. H. V. Crowe's General Smuts' Campaign in East Africa. The chapter

on the Royal Air Force is based on an official Short History of the R.A.F. [F.S. 136], kindly supplied by the
Air Ministry.

June, 1914, when the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian Empire, was assassinated with his wife while on a visit to Sarajevo, the capital of

Bosnia.

The

effects of the outrage

were not at once

apparent, for no public action was taken by Austria until 23rd July. Then, however, it presented to Serbia

a peremptory note and demanded a reply by the evening of the 25th. On this note Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign Secretary, remarked in a despatch to " the British Ambassador at Vienna that he had never before seen one State address to another independent State a document of so formidable a character "

within

the

supported Austria, while Serbia was supported by Russia, thus bringing in France, the latter's ally.

Diplomatic negotiations to avert war or to localise its effects having proved fruitless, Germany on ist August declared war on Russia and France, and on the 6th Austria declared war on Russia. Great Britain of course had no direct interest in the quarrel between Austria and Serbia, or even in that between Austria and Russia, but, when other issues were raised and Germany and France were
involved,
it

became

vitally affected.

The two main

questions were the maintenance of the integrity of France and of the neutrality of Belgium. Great Britain was under no treaty obligation to France, but it had been agreed in November, 1912,^ that, if either Government had grave reason to expect an unprovoked attack, or something threatened the general peace, it would immediately discuss whether

both Governments should act together to prevent aggression and to preserve peace. The German Chancellor's suggestion on 29th July that Great Britain should remain neutral on condition that Germany took no territory from France except in her colonies was indignantly rejected, and on 2nd iVugust France was informed that, if the German fleet came into the English Channel or the North Sea to attack the French
coasts or shipping, the British fleet

neutrality

The second question, Belgian

and the respect of that neutrality by all belligerents, was even more important. By the Treaty of London, 1839, Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, France and Russia had agreed that Belgium should form an independent and perpetually neutral state, and that it should be bound to observe such neutrality towards all other states. This treaty had been strictly adhered to during the Franco-German War, and
accordingly on 31st July, 1914, when hostilities between France and Germany became imminent, the two countries were asked whether, so long as no other power violated it, they would respect the neutrality of Belgium. France gave the necessary undertaking, but no reply was received from Germany. In fact on 2nd August the latter presented an ultimatum to

Belgium demanding facilities for military operations, and on the 4th German troops actually invaded On this date Germany was again Belgian' territory. asked to give the assurance already given by France and was informed that, unless a satisfactory reply was received, Great Britain would take all steps in its

The Western Front,

1914.

i8th to 20th July, as part of a test mobilisation, a great naval display had been given at Spithead by the British Fleet at which some 200 vessels, manned by 70,000 officers and men, were present. After the

Consequently at the outbreak was fully mobilised, ready at once for The army was not mobilised until

3rd August, when it became clear that about to invade Belgium.

Germany was

War between Great Britain and Germany having been declared, an Expeditionary Force, consisting at first of only four divisions, with some cavalry and a few aeroplanes, was sent to the assistance of the French. The troops embarked chiefly at Souththe bulk of them crossing to Boulogne or ampton, Havre on the nights of 12th and 13th August. They concentrated at Amiens and between 17th and 20th August were assembled under the command of Sir John French to the south of Maubeuge.
Mons and
the Retreat.

By the morning of Sunday, the 23rd, they were in position at Mons with a front of about twenty miles on the extreme left of the Allies, the ist Corps,
commanded by
of the town, the Sir

Douglas Haig, being to the east

2nd Corps, under Sir Horace SmithDorrien, holding the town itself and the line to the west, and the cavalry, under Sir Edmund AUenby,
being mostly in reserve. During the morning the Germans attacked with five corps and three cavalry divisions, thus out-

numbering our men by more than two to one. Although the enemy suffered heavy losses the attack achieved

only a moderate success, the British 2nd Corps, which was chiefly involved, retiring, late in the day, to prepared positions in rear. Towards evening, however. Sir John French learned that Namur, thirty-five miles to the east, had fallen on the 22nd, that, in consequence, the French on his right had retired and that
his left

was being outflanked.

In addition therefore

to being outnumbered in front he was in grave danger of being surrounded on both flanks, so that immediate

retreat

was

essential.

This began the next day, the

direction taken being roughly south-west. The ist retired to the east of Bavai and thence through Corps Landrecies, Venerolles, La Fere, and Villers-Cotterets, while the route of the 2nd Corps lay to the west of

and through Le Quesnoy, Le Cateau, St. Ouentin, Ham, Noyon and Compiegne. At Betz on 1st September, the two corps were re-united and crossing the Marne next day fell back towards the
Bavai,
Seine.

Apart from an attack at Landrecies on the night of 25th/26th August, when the Guards drove off with heavy losses a force which advanced through the Foret de Mormal, the ist Corps was not seriously molested, but the 2nd Corps was much harassed. As his men were too weary to continue their march. Sir Horace felt it necessary, in order to gain time, to disregard the orders he had received not to fight, and on the 26th near Le Cateau turned and faced the enemy. Accordingly a line was formed to the south of the Cambrai Le Cateau road with the 5th Division on the right, immediately west of the latter town, the 3rd in the centre and the 4th on the left, the whole front measuring some nine or ten miles. The fighting lasted from dawn until well into the afternoon when

the

Division, having lost

forced back and the two other divisions

of its guns, was had to con-

form. The retirement in some disorder gave rise at the time to disconcerting rumours in England but

these, as usual, greatly exaggerated the facts, and, although there was much confusion, the retreat never

degenerated into a rout.

The mobilisation

of

H.M. Forces

led to the calling

up from the Council's staff of 436 naval reservists, 870 army reservists and 590 members of the Territorial force. During August and September eighteen of the staff joined the Navy and 1664 the Army, so that, after two months of war, the staff on service numbered 3578. There were casualties amongst these from the first, for on 23rd August George Baker {4th R. Fus., Asylums) and Lance-Corp. E. W. Stretton (2nd R. Ir. Rgt., Tram.) were reported as missing, on the 24th John Yates (ist R. Scots Fus., Tram.) died of wounds, and on the 26th J. A. Goodwin (R.F.A., Tram.) was killed at Le Cateau, while before the end of

During the retreat towards the end of August he was accidentally left behind by his regiment. While making liis way back he rescued a wounded comrade, taking him on his horse, and later picked up a straggler. Eventually he fell in with some French troops with whom he remained some days before he was able to
rejoin his regiment.

Battle of the

Marne, 1914.

The German forces advancing from Mons to the Marne were commanded by Von Kluck, who appeared to think that our troops had been so roughly handled
that for the time being they might be ignored. Accordingly in the early days of September, instead of con-

tinuing his advance to the south and south-west, he turned to the south-east from the neighbourhood of

Amiens, and crossed the Marne between Meaux and Chateau-Thierry seemingly with the intention of attacking the left of what he considered to be the

forces.

The operations from 6th September onwards, which formed a part of important engagements by several
French armies, culminating in General Foch's successful attack at St. Gond, 40 miles to the east, are usually known as the first Battle of the Marne. By it the German advance was definitely checked and, indeed, pushed back for thirty miles and the threat on Paris was removed, so that it is rightly regarded as one of
the decisive battles of the war.

Battle of the Aisne, 1914.

The passage of the Aisne, on a front of fifteen miles between Bourg on the east and Soissons on the west, was forced on 13th September. This was a difficult
task, for the river is

both broad and deep and, as

many

of the bridges had been blown up, some troops had to cross on rafts or pontoons, others on the girders of the broken bridges, and all this under continuous
fire. Facing the British and three or four miles to the north of the river was a line of chalk hills on the summit of which was the Chemin-des-Dames.' As the scene of prolonged fighting throughout the war, this was destined to become one of the most famous The ist Corps on the positions on the whole front.

advanced nearly to the top of the ridge, the 2nd Corps in the centre near Vailly was not so successful, while the 3rd Corps (which had been formed under Sir WiUiam Pulteney towards the end of the retreat from Mons) could do little more than hold its ground immediately across the river. Here both sides dug themselves in and, in spite of attacks and counterattacks, the line remained unaltered for many months. After i8th September, although local encounters were frequent, the general fighting died down and early in October the British were relieved by the French and moved northwards to the flank of the Allied

which could have been more usefully employed elsewhere, and accordingly, at the end of September, after several weeks of desultory warfare, the reduction of the Belgian position was seriously imdertaken.

The defence fared badly against heavy artillery of the kind which had been so successful at Liege and Namur, and the Allies were appealed to for assistance. The only troops immediately available were a brigade of Royal Marines and two brigades of the R.N.V.R.,
which were despatched to Antwerp in the early part of October. A breach had already been made in the outer defences of the town and, as the Germans were greatly superior in numbers, no striking success was

Early on the Aisne, Sir John French suggested that, if his forces were transferred to the left of the Allied line, his Hnes of communication would be much shortened and he might be in a position to outflank the Germans.

a formidable task, requiring much skill and organisation on the part of a staff unpractised in the handling of large bodies of men, to disengage so large a force

movement was, however, accomplished without mishap and by the nth of the month the 2nd Corps was operating near La Bassee with the 3rd Corps on its left to the east of St. Omer. With much hard fighting

Neuve

Chapelle.

During the fighting of October, 1914, by the 3rd Corps (see p. 11) the village of Neuve Chapelle,
guarding the Aubers ridge, had changed hands several times but remained finally in the possession of the Germans. In March, 1915, in order to test the spirit of our troops after the losses of the preceding six months and so that all ranks and all arms might
it

obtain experience of the offensive in trench warfare, was decided to attack the place. Accordingly at 8 o'clock in the morning of loth March, after a heavy

bombardment by 300

guns, British and Indian troops attacked on a front of about 2,000 yards; at the same time demonstrations on each flank kept the enemy occupied. On the right of the main attack the advance was at once successful, but on the left it was held up for a time by broad belts of uncut wire. However, by noon the village had been seized and during the afternoon our troops debouched to the east, where they were held up at the Bois du Biez and the Moulin du Pietre. Heavy mists on the nth and 12th, while preventing a further advance, enabled the Germans to bring up reinforcements for several counter-attacks, but these were all beaten off. (See map on p. 18).

Hill 60.

The fighting at Hill 60, which lasted for a fortnight or more from 17th April, may be taken as an example of the attacks made by each side with varying success upon points up and down the line which were, or
were held to
be, of importance.

This modest feature

is

a spoil-heap, rather more than 2I miles to the southeast of Ypres, by the side of the Ypres-Comines rail-

way. At the most only fifty feet high, it was useful as an observation post, and so, at dask on the evening of 17th
April,

after the explosion

of several mines,

it

was

rushed by the ist R.

W. Kents and

the 2nd Scottish

Borderers. By the next morning the Germans had recovered part of the crest from which, however, during the night of the iSth/igth they were again driven by the 2nd W. Ridings and the 2nd Yorks L.I.

For some time, in spite of heavy bombardments and numerous counter-attacks, the hill, defended by the 1st E. Surreys, the ist Bedfords and the 9th Londons,
remained with the British. In the early part of May the Germans renewed their attacks, this time with poison gas, against which our men were not then protected. One such attack on the ist failed, but a second on the 5th was more successful, and the main part of the hill had to be given up.

properly exploited the success purchased by ignoring the conventions of civilised warfare, the position of
the Allies would have been most serious. The Germans, however, paused to consolidate their gains, and the Canadians, who formed the left of the British line next
to the French, had time to defend their flank and even to make a counter-attack. Isolated detachments were

hurried

The latter movement was completed by 4th May, and on the 8th a fierce attack broke out on the sector to the south of Wieltje. The line was pierced at Wieltje and near Frezenberg, but the former was recaptured and at the latter a new line was formed to the west. A German attack on the 24th near Bellewaarde and another at the end of the month

Aubers Ridge and Festuhert. Early in May the French took the offensive between Loos and the Vimy Ridge to the north of

24

Arras and, in order to engage the enemy's attention, the British on 9th May opened an attack on a front of about ten miles between Laventie and Richebourg In the north near Rouges Bancs the 13th I'Avoue.

Londons seized a mine crater and several lines of trenches beyond, and in the south the 2nd R. Munster Fus. captured some trenches near the Rue du Bois. The rest of the attack failed and these two battalions, being unsupported on their flanks, had to withdraw.
Further attacks on the night of I5th/i6th May at Richebourg I'Avoue and Festubert were less unsuccessful but, though the operation continued for several days, the total gains were negligible for, apart from the casualties inflicted on the enemy, an advance of a few hundred yards in so flat a country was of no
advantage.

Summer 0/1915.
The summer
local encounters

of 1915 was taken up with various which led to no more definite result

than the occasional gain or loss of a trench.

Thus on

26

15th June about eight battalions attacked opposite Givenchy; some failed to reach their objective and the others suffered such heavy casualties that they were unable to maintain themselves in the captured trenches. Trenches captured at Hooge on i6th June were retaken by the Germans with the aid of liquid fire on 30th July, and again captured by us on 9th

August. On a date in July Staff-Sergt. N. Mapham (R.A.V.C, Educ), in charge of some N.C.O.'s and men, was ordered to entrain at Bethune a large number of sick and wounded horses. There was a two hours' wait for the train and during all this time the station was In these trying circumstances and heavily shelled. in spite of many casualties he successfully carried out

Loos and Hulluch.
In September, the French decided, in conjunction with a great attack in Champagne, to renew their
offensive against the Vimy Ridge, and the British were asked to co-operate by attacking between Lens and the La Bassee Canal (see plan p. 18). The preliminary bombardment occupied four days and, im-

mediately before the advance, large quantities of asphyxiating gas were released, this being the first time that gas was used by us. The main attack was launched at 6.30 a.m. on the 25th, and in some parts suffered much from coming upon large belts of uncut wire and drifting clouds of our own gas. On the extreme right the 47th Division (with the i8th Londons
dribbling a football across No Man's Land), captured the Double Grassier - and part of Loos. On their left the 15th Division captured the remainder of Loos, pressed on a mile or so farther to Hill 70 and even

for several days, a strong

trench warfare with the British holding a line (see plan on p. 18) running almost due eastward from

Grenay as far as the Lens-Hulluch road, then northward along this road and finally turning westward through the Hohenzollern Redoubt to the original front line. The area captured, although less than that
gained in the first assault, represented an advance of about two miles on a front of about four, and the advance fonned a permanent threat to the German occupation of Lens in the south and La Bassee in the north. Some 3,000 prisoners with 26 field guns were taken. Major (afterwards Lt.-Col.) Ernest Eton (R.F.A., Educ.) was awarded the D.S.O. for excellent service throughout the summer when, although constantly shelled out of observation stations, he always managed to command his guns with success. He also did good work at Loos at the end of September. In the latter lighting the D.C.M. was gained by Sergt. A. A. W. " he carried Gray (M.G.C., Tram.) on the 25th when his machine-gun forward when only two men of the gun team were left, and selected the gun position in the most able way.

Sergt. A. J. Tilney (4th Drag. Gds., Clerk) received the D.C.M, for repeated acts of gallantry, particularly on a night in January, 1916, when he accompanied

and two men in an attempt upon a mine the Hohenzollem Redoubt. The officer was killed and one of the men wounded, but Sergt. Tilney seized and held the position. Corp. S. C. P. Drury (R.E., Educ.) was awarded the D.C.M. for consistent gallantry and good work about this time when in charge of sap and wire entanglement work. During an engagement in the Ypres salient he also displayed great courage and coolness.

CHAPTER

IV.
1916.

Western Front,

In December, 1915, Sir John French returned to England, and on the 19th of the month Sir Douglas Haig was appointed commander-in-chief of the British forces. During the winter the British took over from the French the sector from Lens to Arras, so that in the early part of 1916 the line held by them started north of Ypres, passed near Armentieres, Bethune, Lens and Arras and reached practically to the river Somme. The length was about 90 miles, out of a total length from the North Sea to Switzerland of about 350 miles, and for its defence in July 660,000 infantry and cavalry were available. In addition there were great numbers of artillery as well as of units, near the front and at the various bases, dealing with health
services, supply, transport, etc. The first serious operation in

1916 in the British

was the capture by the Germans on 14th February, after a heavy bombardment and the explosion of several mines, of the Bluff, a low bank on the
sector

Comines canal nearly three miles S.S.E. from Ypres. Like Hill 60, about one mile to the north, it conferred upon the side holding it facilities for observation and so was the scene of fierce fighting. In fact one trench changed hands so frequently that it gained the name " International Trench." A British counter-attack of in a rain-storm on the night of the I5th/i6th failed, but in another attack just before dawn on 2nd March not only the lost ground but an additional area was
captured.

At

St. Eloi, a

mile or more to the west, the positions

were reversed. On 27th March six mines were exploded under the German trenches, portions of which were
seized.
difficult

The consolidation of the new position proved and, after numerous bombardments and

33

counter-attacks during the next four weeks, our men withdrew on 27th April to the line held before the
operations began. Of the remaining operations the most notable were the fighting, chiefly by the 12th Division, in the Loos salient in April and May, a German attack at the

Vimy Ridge near Souchez in the middle of May, and a German attack near Hooge and Zouave and Sanctuary Woods early in June. The last two were undertaken in the hope that troops and munitions would be diverted to the threatened points, and that the preparations, then well advanced, for the Battle of the Somme would be impeded. To prevent this no effort was made to recover the ground lost near Souchez, and at Hooge
only the area essential for the safety of the line was attacked and captured. In these ^ or in similar engagements the casualties

mentioned below occurred during the first half of 1916. On 6th January H. E. L. White (gth Rif. Bde., Tram.) was killed near Ypres, on the nth J. G. J. Waite

fighting on Vimy Ridge to the south of Souchez in May, 1916, when many of the Council's staff were killed, was briefly as follows. At evening on 15th May the British exploded several mines in No Man's Land and the craters were occupied by troops from the 25th

Division.

to be dug.

The country from Ypres to Loos, formerly part of the province of Flanders, which witnessed the British conflicts at the end of 1914 and throughout 1915 is
not unlike certain portions of the eastern districts of England. It is flat or gently undulating, and divided into fields by ditches, small streams and high hedges, with many farms dotted about. The country to the south, the scene of new and greater conflicts, is a rolling, chalk country, for the most part waterless, which rises steadily to heights of 500 feet or more. It is quite open, except for woods on many of the hillcrests, and the farms are grouped into small compact villages situated every mile or so at road junctions. In such country the defenders have good observation and good fields of fire, while the attackers, even if they find it difficult or impossible to obtain cover, are able,
in ordinary weather and under ordinary conditions, to move their infantry freely in any direction.

One cause of the failure was that the Germans expected that the main attack would be in this sector and consequently they had greatly strengthened their

40

defences and had brought up large numbers of guns. Even as it was, our men at Thiepval, Serre, Gommecourt, and elsewhere reached points to which British

In spite of heavy counter-attacks the success on the right was exploited and during the next few days

Contalmaison and Mametz Wood were captured on loth July and, as some progress had been made at Trones Wood on the right and Ovillers on the left, a general attack on the enemy's second line was possible. Accordingly on the night of 13th /14th July our troops advanced nearly a mile and in the darkness took up position unobserved just below the crest. At 3.25 on the morning of the 14th, when there was only sufficient light to distinguish friend from foe, the attack opened. Trones Wood was captured by the i8th

In the meantime our men had fought their way almost step by step towards Mouquet Farm near Thiepval and to the high ground which enabled them to overlook Martinpuich and Courcelette. Following upon a general attack on 3rd September along the line as far north as the Ancre, Falfemont Farm and Leuze Wood were captured on the 5th, and another general attack on the 9th gave us possession of Bouleaux Wood and Ginchy.

These were the best results which, since the beginning of the battle, had been obtained in any one operation. A further advance on the 25th resulted in the capture of Morv^al by the 5th Division, and Les Bceufs by the 6th and the Guards, while next day Gueudecourt fell to the 2ist Division and Combles to the 56th. The enemy was thus cleared from much of the high land which he had held for the previous two years and instead of overlooking our trenches was now overlooked by them.

Summary.

The net immediate result of the Battle of the Somme was the piercing of the enemy's lines on a front of some seven miles and to an average depth of three or
four miles, and the capture of 38,000 prisoners, 29 heavy guns, 96 field guns, 136 trench mortars and 514

machine guns. The enemy's withdrawal in the spring of 1917 (see p. 56) south of the Scarpe and in the valley Of much of the Somme was a further direct result. more importance, however, than the gain of ground or the capture of prisoners, was the moral effect of the fact that our men had driven the Germans out of strongly fortified positions and had held the positions

The British losses in July, 1916, were 196.081 (Capt. P. E. Wright, At the Supreme War Council, p. 121), but this rate was far from being maintained. Our total losses were 499,476 {ibid., p. 33).

the winter of 1916-17 the British took over a further section of the Hne, principally that which had fallen to the French at the Battle of the Somme. With the completion of this operation the British sector extended from the north of Ypres to the Amiens-

Roye road, a distance of about 115 miles. The undermentioned deaths among the staff on service occurred about this time. H. W. Cooper (13th Lond., Tram.) died on 6th January of wounds received the day before, and F. W. Groombridge (Army Cyclists Corps, Tram.) was killed near Bullecourt on the 26th, Walter Peters (R.A.M.C., Asylums) died of bronchitis at Etaples on the nth, and Lieut. J. A.

that, in the spring of 1917, the fighting should commence at the same point. ^ During'} anuary our position

at Beaumont Hamel was extended and consoHdated, and on 6th February, Grandcourt, and on the 7th Baillescourt Farm were occupied. A further advance on the 17th up to Petit Miraumont led to the evacuation by the enemy of the defences of Pys, Miraumont and Serre, and on the 25th these places with Warlen-

court to the east were occupied. On the 27th Gommecourt fell, followed by Puisieux-au-Mont on the 28th.

After a week's delay to enable artillery to be brought up and communications to be put in order, Irles was attacked and captured at dawn on loth March. In an attempted advance in February up the valley of the Ancre towards Pys, Capt. J. W. Woods (2nd

Battles of Arras, 1917.

For the spring of 1917 the French, now under General Nivellc in succession to General Joffre, had
planned in the Champagne area north-west of Rheims an ambitious scheme of attack from which great results were expected. To ensure concerted action the British

chalk under the city were immense catacombs dating from very early times. These were linked up into one system, lit by electricity, and connected with the trenches. A few days before the attack large bodies of troops, brought up to the city under cover of darkness, were concealed in these catacombs with the
result that at the opening of the assault the British were in much greater strength than the Germans

expected.

In spite of heavy falls of snow and rain the success was extended on the loth by the capture of Orange Hill and the summit of Vimy Ridge, on the nth by the capture of Monchy and by an attempt on Bullecourt and on the 12th by the capture of Heninel and Wancourt in the south, and two hills known as the Pimple and the Bois-en-Hache in the valley of
the Souchez south-west of Lens.

During the next few days the enemy vacated many of his trenches to the south, west and north of Lens, and these were
promptly occupied.
Altogether the fighting between 9th and i6th April yielded the most important results achieved by us up to that time. The front was advanced an average

on a length of fifteen. The gains included about 8,500 yards, near the Scarpe, of the Hindenburg line, a system of trenches which had been very strongly

Continuation of the Battle.

In the ordinary way the battle would now have been broken off and the bulk of our men transferred to the
neighbourhood of Ypres in preparation for the fighting which will be described later. The French offensive, however, near Rheims had been held up by the bad weather and it was therefore desirable to continue to engage the enemy at Arras. Accordingly on 23rd April a fresh assault was opened between Croisilles and Gavrelle and also near Lens. The 30th and 50th Divisions advanced near Cherisy, the 15th took, but lost, Guemappe, the 29th advanced to the east of

Monchy, the 51st was heavily engaged at Roeux, the 63rd captured Gavrelle, and the 5th was successful in a minor operation south-west of Lens. Guemappe was retaken by us next day

posts changed hands frequently, the main hne, which gave important facilities for observation, remained permanently in our possession. In the second phase of the battle the Hne was advanced only about a mile, but 8,000 prisoners were

captured, with 57 guns, bringing the total gains up to 21,000 prisoners and 257 guns, in addition to many machine-guns and trench mortars and immense

war material. About twelve miles of the Hindenburg line or of systems allied to it were ^ captured. Our total casualties amounted to 196, no. A. C. Hancock, M.C. and bar (R.A.M.C, Captain

ground, the artillery and tanks could hardly keep pace with them, and when, early in the afternoon, the Oosttaverne line was reached they halted there to enable a new assault to be organised. This was as successful as the former, and by the evening the whole line was in our hands. A violent counter-attack on the 8th was repulsed at all points. The progress on the right caused the Germans to the north of the river Lys to vacate their trenches which were promptly occupied. Also on the 14th we made a slight advance along most of the line reached on the 7th, but thereafter no further efforts were made to exploit the success. By this victory a standing menace to two sections of our line was removed, the enemy was deprived of a commanding position on the defence of which he had lavished much skill and labour, bis lines were pierced to a depth in some parts of three miles, and in addition to many killed and wounded he lost 7,200 prisoners. Much material and stores, including 67 guns, were captured. Our total casualties were about 16,000.

was not possible for our forces to conduct at the same time two offensives on a large scale, this led to the work at Ypres being postponed. However, in June, the fighting at Arras died down and by the capture of the I\Iessines ridge the way was, to some extent, cleared for the proposed attack further north.

many of their batteries to safer positions. The attack was therefore postponed while these new positions were being identified by the airmen and dealt with by the artillery, and a succession of cloudy days led to a

It was well known that, in order to withstand the advance at Ypres, the enemy had withdrawn troops from other portions of the front, and a surprise attack was therefore planned on a part of the defences thus weakened. The sector near Cambrai, where several

westwards upon our line to the south of Masnieres. The hollows and folds usual in chalk country enabled
the enemy, assisted by a ground mist, to assemble, without attracting notice, large bodies of infantry.

After a short bombardment, numbers of low-flying aeroplanes rained machine-gun fire upon our trenches, and immediately afterwards the attack was launched. The left of the 55th Division was driven in and the

enemy, making great progress up 22 Ravine and across the northern end of Bonavis Ridge, was able to take Villers the 12th and 20th Divisions in flank and rear. Guislain, Gonnelieu and Bonavis soon fell, and the enemy even reached Gouzeaucourt, but was gallantly driven out by the Guards Division which, on its way to rest billets after heavy fighting at Fontaine and
Bourlon, was hurried into the conflict.

next day our troops were forced out of Gonnelieu, During these two days many attacks in this sector and in the Bourlon sector were driven off, but on the 3rd the Germans succeeded in capturing La Vacquerie. Owing to the Germans' success at Villers Guislain our position at Masnieres and Bourlon now formed a dangerous salient. Troops were not available for
another offensive on a large scale, and it was therefore decided to contract the line by withdrawing to the northern slopes of the Flesqui^res ridge and to make the necessary adjustments further south. The with-

drawal was commenced on the night of 4th /5th December and was completed by the 7th without

In February it became clear that the enemy proposed to take the offensive. It was known that many divisions transferred from Russia and Italy were
receiving special training, and aerial reconnaissances showed that communications were being improved, and ammunition and supply dumps increased. To meet

greater length of line was being held with fewer troops than heretofore, the opportunities for training such new drafts as were being received were very Hmited. The enemy's preparations covered most of our front and, as all this could not be defended in equal
strength,
it was necessary to decide at what points could be yielded with least harm. In the ground north the battle lines were only fifteen miles from

Dunkirk, and forty from Calais, and the possession of these and the other Channel ports was essential The middle sector defended the few to our safety. collieries in northern France still held by the remaining Allies, and also important railway points such as

down we were holding south of the Somme a line which passed to the west of Hamel and east of Villers
Bretonneux and Hangard. Frequent local attacks ensued on different sectors, and finally the Germans on 24th April attempted to advance upon the whole of our front south of the Somme. After a conflict between tanks, the first of which there is record, and fierce fighting along the whole front, the enemy broke through at Villers Bretonneux and gained positions commanding Amiens. This threat on so important a point was not to be tolerated and a brilliant counter-attack, undertaken at short notice on the following night (the 24th /25th) by the Austrahans aided by the i8th Division, drove the enemy back to the east of the village almost to the line from which he had set out in the morning. Thus ended the second Battle of the Somme, the most serious defeat sustained by us during the war. In about ten days of actual fighting the enemy advanced on a front of forty miles to a depth of twenty to forty miles, regained large areas which had been won by the Allies only after months of desperate such fighting in 1916 and 1917, and captured and held Rosieres and Montdidier places as Albert, Bray, which had not been in his possession since the opening

The

enemy captured Estaires and, although driven out, succeeded later in regaining the town. On this day the battle spread northwards to the neighbourhood of Hill 60. Aided once more by mist the Ge'rmans pushed back the 25th Division north of Armentieres and the 19th on the east side of the Messines ridge, but the situation at the latter point was somewhat restored in a counter-attack by the
9th Division. Armentieres, thus threatened from the north and from the south, was vacated during the evening by the 34th Division. On the nth Messines, Neuf Berquin and Merville were captured, and with the object of reducing the length of hne held to the north our troops, under orders, vacated the Messines ridge and withdrew to the line Wulverghem Neuve EgUse.

Here they were finally held by AustraHan troops brought up from the Somme. Neuve Eglise, after changing hands several times, finally passed to the enemy on the 14th, and on the 15th the enemy
developed his success by capturing Bailleul, During these latter days a previously arranged plan for the evacuation of the Passchendaele salient was carried

On

Some days of comparative quiet now intervened during which French reinforcements took over the Kemmel sector. On the 25th the battle was renewed between the Comines Canal and the north of Bailleul,
with the result that the 21st and 9th Divisions were forced back along the Canal and at Wytschaete, and the French lost Kemmel village and hill. Next day French and British troops recaptured Kemmel village, but being unsupported on the flanks had to withdraw. The loss of Kemmel Hill seriously threatened our positions in the Ypres salient where the communications and defences were under direct observation, and as a precaution, on the night of the 26th/27th, our troops were withdrawn to a point south of La Clytte, the line passing thence to the west of Zillebeke and through Wieltje and Pilckem.

Minor Operations on British Front. Advantage was taken of the lull in the fighting on the main British front to re-organise the defences,
and, as a preliminary, eight divisions, the 14th, i6th, 31st, 34th, 39th, 40th, 59th, and 66th, which, having suffered the most, had been reduced to cadres were

temporarily written off as fighting units. To relieve the situation at Amiens, Bethune, Hazebrouck and

even at St. Pol, twenty miles to the west of Arras, where much-used railway junctions were under shell fire, three routes for north and south traffic were
provided, this making it necessary to lay some 500 miles of broad gauge track. New lines of defence in rear consisting of about 5000 miles of trench had also
to be constructed

troops.

As, however, the nunibers of our men increased and their confidence and training improved, various

an advance to the east and south-east of Amiens so as to free the railway communications through the city from enemy pressure. It was desirable that the attack should be a surprise, and elaborate precautions were therefore taken to lead the enemy to suppose that any effort contemplated would be at the other, that is the northern, end of our line.

With

this object, headquarters and casualty clearing stations were built in conspicuous positions in Flanders,

and training and general activity behind that part of the line were simulated. Meanwhile preparations were made rapidly and secretly for the advance at Amiens, and on 8th August the attack opened at dawn in a thick mist. The Canadians were on the right immediately north of the Amiens Roye road,

Action followed close upon the
declaration of war, for on the 5th the Konigin Luise, while laying mines some distance off the East Coast,

was chased and sunk by H.M.S. Amphion. A few hours later the latter struck one of the mines and went down

with most of her crew and some prisoners from the Luise. On the 6th H.M.S. Birmingham rammed and sank two enemy submarines. A brief account may here be given of the Navy's duties during the war. These were summarised by Mr. Balfour, as First Lord of the Admiralty, in July,
1915, as follows: To drive the enemy's (i)

commerce

off

the sea.

This was accomplished by stationing strong forces in Scapa Flow and the English Channel, so as to cut off all egress from the North Sea. The area thus enclosed was then systematically patrolled by light craft,

Harwich and Dover being two of the chief bases. To protect British commerce. To do this it was (ii) necessary to have control in all parts of the world. The Atlantic was the main avenue of supply, but routes had also to be considered to and from Australia, New Zealand, India and China. Also a northern patrol was necessary to insure the passage from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and north Russia. Mine-sweepers and trawlers had to be provided to deal with the mines laid by the enemy in the main traffic routes.

After some confused fighting V187, an enemy destroyer, and the light cruisers Koln, Mainz and Ariadne were sunk with the loss of over 1,000 men. Four enemy raiders were sunk, the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Grosse by H.M.S. High/Iyer on 26th August Oro on the west coast of Africa, the Cap Trafalgar by H.M.S. Carmania on 14th September off Trinidada Island, Brazil, the Emden by H.M.S.

Chatham six months before. H.M.S. Audacious struck a mine on 27th October and sank, and on ist January, 1915, the Formidable was torpedoed off Start Point, Devon. Several destroyers and monitors aided the Allied left at Lombartzyde on the Belgian coast during the first

The

vessels were grouped into convoys and many of them were dazzle-painted so as to deceive the enemy as to their type and construction, and even as to their course and speed. Many ships after being sunk were

raised

by the salvage service; during the last three years of the war over a million and a half tons were so raised, the value of the ships and contents being about
50,000,000.

The opening of 1918 was marked on 14th January by the third bombardment of Yarmouth. Ostend and Zeebrugge were of great assistance to the Germans as submarine bases, and one object of the Passchendaele fighting was to bring them under gunfire (see
p.

ment, were torpedoed and sunk in the North Sea to Bank with a loss of 60 officers and over 1,300 men. The sinking of the Aboukir was an ordinary hazard of patrolling duty, but the Hogue and the Cressy were sunk because they proceeded to the assistance of their consort, and remained, with engines stopped, endeavouring to save Hfe, thus presenting an easy and certain target to further submarine attacks.

On 15th October, 1914, H.M.S. Hawke was torpedoed and sunk in the northern waters of the North Sea. The Hawke was a cruiser with a displacement of 7,350 tons, and carried a crew of about 500, of whom only 4 officers and 69 men were saved. At about 11 a.m. the Hawke sighted a collier flying the Norwegian flag, and changed
her course slightly in order to investigate the character of the vessel. The cruiser was moving through the

water at a moderate speed when an explosion occurred and part of the ship's side was torn away. One boat only was got away and her crew pulled about

Towards the evening of ist November, 1914, H.M.S. Good Hope, an armoured cruiser of 14,100 tons and flagship of Admiral Sir C. Cradock, accompanied by H.M.S. Monmouth, an armoured cruiser of 9,800 tons, H.M.S. Glasgow, a Hght cruiser of 4,800 tons, and H.M.S. Otranto, an auxiliary cruiser, came up off Coronel on the coast of Chile with the squadron of Admiral von Spee, consisting of the armoured cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau of 11,400 tons, and the light cruisers Dresden, Niirnberg and Leipzig, 3,540, 3,350 and 3,200 tons respectively. The enemy declined action until sunset, when the light gave them an important advantage. During the action, which began about 7 p.m. and lasted for an hour, darkness and the head sea made firing difficult. At an early stage both the Good Hope and Monmouth caught fire, but fought on until, at 7.50 p.m., a great explosion took place on the Good Hope, flames shooting 200 feet into the air, and the ship foundered with the loss of all on board. The Monmouth, accompanied by the Glasgow, hauled off at dark, but was unable to steam away. She was then attacked by the enemy and sank,, all on board The Glasgow and Otranto escaped. The perishing.
result of this action is attributed to the superior weight of metal possessed by the enemy and to the advantages of position.

The R.N.A.S. was used chiefly for long distance bombing raids, for maintaining coastal patrols by airships and aeroplanes against submarines, for scouting at sea, and for the defence of London and the coast against attacks by air. A list of the raids would fill several pages, so it must suffice to mention here by
of illustration in 1914 alone the attacks on 22nd September on Zeppelin sheds at Dusseldorf and Cologne, and on 21st November on the Zeppehn base at Friedrichschafen on Lake Constance, the combined attack by sea and land on Cuxhaven on Christmas Day and the incessant attacks upon submarine, etc., bases at Ostend, Zeebrugge and Bruges.

An officer of the R.N.A.S. was also the first airman to sink a submarine at sea, this happening on 26th August, 1915. Both the R.F.C. and the R.N.A.S. served in all the main theatres of war, and in each had to encounter new dangers and difficulties. In hot countries, such as Mesopotamia and the tropics for instance, the machines were liable to be clogged with sand, and water in the radiators boiled so easily that flying was usually possible only in the early morning. The intense heat also caused wood-work to warp, and machines of a special pattern in which metal was used instead of wood had to be designed. In Northern Russia, on the other hand, the water in the radiators was liable to freeze and difficult problems connected with lubrica-

In June, 1918, the Independent Air Force, succeeding long-distance bombing units of the R.N.A.S.; was formed for a definite purpose the bombing of German

munition works. Much good work had already been done, for during the previous eight months, which included the severe winter of 19 17-18, 142 raids, of

which 57 were in Germany, had been made. The work of the I.A.F. can best be summarised by stating that in five months 550 tons of bombs were dropped, 160 by day and 390 by night, and that of this amount 220 tons were dropped on aerodromes. Special attention was devoted to railways and to blast furnaces, the reason for this being that the Germans were very short of rolling stock, and serious damage would therefore lead to important results. A section was formed

bombing Berlin. The necessary machines, each with four engines of 375 horse power, were not received until the end of October, and, although all ranks worked day and night to equip them for their task, they were not
for

ready until the Armistice was about to be signed. A few figures will help to illustrate the surprising growth of the R.A.F. and its equipment. At the beginning of the war the R.F.C. and the R.N.A.S. comprised only a few hundred officers and men at the Armistice there were in the R.A.F. some 28,000 officers and
;

264,000 other ranks, making a total of nearly 300,000. In 1914 only 40 pupils could be dealt with at a time; in 1918 30,000 cadets were under instruction at once. In 1914 the R.F.C. had four squadrons up to strength and the R.N.A.S. rather fewer. In 1916 the R.F.C. had 21 squadrons in France, eight in the Middle East
-^

and a number at home. By March, 1918, these numbers had risen to 76 and 14 respectively, with 22 for home defence and special training. In November, 1918, the

squadrons was over 200, with another 200 for cadet training. The number of machines had increased from less than 100 to about 22,000. The machines had also improved. In 1914 the best machine had a speed of 73 miles an hour and a climbing capacity >of 3,000 feet in nine minutes; by 1917 speed had been doubled and climbing capacity trebled. In place of a single engine of 70 horse power, the most powerful machines were fitted with two engines of 275 horse power each and even four engines of 375 horse power each. The potential output of complete machines rose from 50 to 3,500 a month and of engines from 14 to The weight of the heaviest aerial 3,000 a month. which in 1914 was about 14 lbs., increased in bomb, 1915 to 100 lbs., in 1916 to 336 lbs., and in 1918 to 1,600 lbs., or three-quarters of a ton.

British influence with Turkey, at one time considerhad, during the last thirty years or so, been, much weakened. One cause of this was the occupation of Egypt and Cyprus, another was the resentment aroused by the spirited condemnations in England of Turkish misrule, a third was the support given by Great Britain after the first Balkan war in 1912-13 to the successful claims of Bulgaria and Greece to Turkish territory, a fourth was the growing understanding between Great Britain and Russia, the hereditary enemy of Turkey.

By the end of the month, that is, in six weeks from the first landing, the casualties among the British and Anzacs amounted to nearly 40,000, a number which exceeded the total battle casualties in the whole of the South African War. The next two months were marked by frequent attacks and counter-attacks, leading to no definite result, and it became clear that, although our forces had been strengthened by the arrival of the 13th and 52nd Divisions, the Turkish line could not be

plan

was therefore

formed to land a force at Suvla Bay three miles to the north of Anzac, and then to advance from Anzac
Bair ridge. It was hoped in this the enemy's communications and to turn way to cut his position. Accordingly on 6th August the enemy's attention was engaged near Helles by an attack (which happened just to forestall an attack which he was planning) and during the night following a landing was effected at Suvla by part of the loth and by the nth Divisions. The 53rd and 54th Divisions landed later.

The opposition was comparatively slight, and, if prompt action had been taken, a great success might

155

have been achieved. The delay in pressing our advantage was due partly to the exhaustion of the soldiers who, notwithstanding elaborate precautions, suffered terribly from lack of water, but still more to inertia and confusion in the local higher command upon which Sir Ian Hamilton commented somewhat severely in his despatch. The 6th E. Yorks who had occupied
Scimitar Hill with hardly any fighting were, in error, in order to attack elsewhere. The Turks were able to bring up reinforcements and the advance

which might with so little loss of life have led to great results was checked. Meanwhile the advance from Anzac by British, Dominion and Indian troops,
although impeded by the partial failure at Suvla, proceeded slowly up almost precipitous heights covered with scrub, and early in the morning of 8th August a ridge near Chunuk Bair was seized which commanded a view across the peninsula to the Narrows. The 6th

Lanes from the 13th Division and some Gurkhas, who so gallantly captured it came under the fire of their own guns, troops which should have them lost their way, and under heavy supported counter-attacks the ridge had to be abandoned. Although the attack thus failed, the area held at Anzac was enlarged from less than one mile to about eight. The troops having been reinforced by a dismounted Yeomanry division from Egypt, a further attempt to advance from Suvla Bay was made on 21st August. After severe fighting which continued during the night, positions were gained on Scimitar Hill. It was decided that these would be untenable by day and our men were withdrawn. After the failure at Suvla the fighting died down into the routine of trench warfare. Early in October two of the English and one of the French divisions were sent to Salonica (see p. 176) and towards the middle of the month Sir Ian Hamilton was ordered to advise upon the evacuation of the peninsula.

he was recalled to England and Sir Charles days Monro was appointed in his place. This officer reported strongly in favour of evacuation and his opinion was confinned by Lord Kitchener who, towards the middle
later

of November, inspected portions of the lines at Helles, Anzac and Suvla. A striking incident showed the risk of remaining during the winter. On 27th November a sudden gale from the south-west destroyed several piers and landing stages and did much damage among the smaller transports. At the same time a deluge of rain converted the trenches into torrents in which friend and foe, stores and mules, were swept away. This was followed by a blizzard, lasting for nearly two days and nights, and this again by a heavy frost. The troops suffered terribly from the unusual cold, many died, and about 10,000 sick had to be removed. The evacuation was begun at Anzac and Suvla and was completed there on the night of I9th/20th December, just in time to avoid a storm which arose a few hours later. More than 83,000 men were embarked (with the accidental loss of only two men), with 5,000 horses and mules, 2,000 wagons and 200 guns. At Helles our men were even more fortunate, for a south-westerly gale was beginning to blow as the last of them left the shore. There the evacuation was

completed

morning of 9th January, 1916, and included 35,000 men, 4,000 animals and no guns. The assault upon the peninsula, urged with such gallantry for so many months and in face of so many difficulties, thus ended in failure. This was not due to

in the early

any lack

of bravery, daring, skill or endurance on the part of the rank and file, but rather to the inability of the superior commands to meet the demands of so great an enterprise and to the fact that, in spite of

repeated requests, adequate reinforcements were not In the House of Commons on 20th forthcoming. March, 1917, Mr. Asquith, commenting upon the report

At

the outbreak of war with Turkey it was estimated about 140,000 troops were concentrated at Damascus, and it was anticipated that a part of these

would be used for an attempt upon the Suez Canal. It was true that to reach the canal the enemy would have to cross the Sinai Peninsula, a waterless desert 120 miles wide, and that failure would be disastrous. On the other hand the enterprise, if successful, would sever a vital link in the British communications with India and the East, and such a possibility, however remote, had to be guarded against.

Palestine.

As a preliminary

to the invasion of Palestine the

Turks in January, 19 17, were driven out of El Arish and Rafah and the Qatia railway was continued to the latter place. Anticipating an attack they strongly fortified Gaza, Beersheba and the district between the Wadi Ghuzze and the Wadi es Sheria. In March our assault was launched. A few cavalry entered Gaza on the 26th but were cut off and, although the 53rd and part of the 54th Divisions surrounded the town, they were withdrawn a day or so later. On 17th April the attack was
renewed, the 53rd Division attacking along the coast with the 52nd and 54th on their right. The assault seems to have been even less successful than the earlier attempt and, after two days' hard fighting, our men were withdrawn.

Capture of Gaza and Beersheba.

The Turks took the opportunity to strengthen their defences which were held by ten divisions. General Sir Edmund Allenby, now in command, determined
to assault a point to the west of Beersheba where the country was so rugged that the enemy considered

elaborate fortifications to be unnecessary. The prewhich included the construction of many parations,

miles of roads and branch railways, the laying of rabbit wire on long stretches of sand so as to provide passable tracks for traffic, and the formation of depots

cut the railway leading to Jerusalem. The Turks had been held in Gaza by the 52nd Division, which advanced before dawn on the 2nd, but the situation was now desperate and they retreated in disorder along the coast. The town was occupied on the 7th. Thus in one week Gaza and Beersheba were captured, and the enemy was driven out of the whole of the

Battle of Megiddo.

The success of the German offensives in France from March onwards led to the recall of the 52nd and 74th and the bulk of the 6oth Divisions, their place being
taken by Indian troops, chiefly from Mesopotamia. Large Turkish forces were detached for service in Persia and elsewhere, so that for once the Allies had the advantage in numbers. As soon as his new troops were properly incorporated in the army General Allenby decided to seize the opportunity for overwhelming the enemy in this part. Accordingly on i8th September the loth and 53rd Divisions made a feint on the right of our line to the north of Jerusalem, and next day the main attack was launched against the enemy's positions on the coastal plain north of Jaffa. This was completely successful; two important lines of defence were overrun, and on the 20th three cavalry divisions, pushing forward through the gap thus formed and wheeling eastward, cut the enemy's lines of retreat at El Afuleh and Beisan and seized the Liman von Sanders, the crossings over the Jordan.

war broke out with Turkey the occupation of Basra was urged as a means of diverting Turkish troops from the threatened attack on the Suez Canal and Egypt, and of protecting the Anglo-Persian oil
line,

an important source of supply for the British Navy. Accordingly a mixed British and Indian Force, which was despatched to Mesopotamia with this object, defeated the Turks at Sahil, and on 22nd November,
of

1914, entered Basra. On 9th December the garrison Qurna, 40 miles higher up, surrendered with nine

guns.

their supplies were very great.

Some months elapsed before reinforcements arrived, and the Turks, encouraged by the delay, took the initiative, but were driven back at Shaiba on 14th April, 1915. During May Gen. Townshend, having collected or improvised some sort of water transport, advanced with one division up the Tigris and, taking the garrison of Amara more or less by surprise, occupied the town on the 29th. At the same time the advance was consolidated by troops under General Gorringe which cleared the enemy from the district between Ahwaz and Amara and in July advanced up the Euphrates and took Nasiriya. The water transport, barely sufficient for the original expedition, had now to serve twice the number of men, and the problem of supplying the troops with

i68

food and ammunition and of dealing with the sick and wounded became very serious. Nevertheless General Townshend was ordered to advance. On 29th September he defeated the enemy at Kut, captured the town with 1,700 prisoners and much war material, and followed

The British Government seem to have represented that, prospects in Gallipoh being uncertain, a striking success in the East was desirable, and the mihtary authorities may have been too sanguine-. Whatever the reason, a few reinforcements were sent but no transport, and in November, when the Turks had organised their defences, the advance was renewed. On the 21st our men drove the enemy out of Laj, pushed on nine miles, and on the 22nd attacked the main position at Ctesiphon, only sixteen miles from Baghdad. Two lines of trenches were
captured, but enemy reinforcements compelled the British to retire to the first line. They were now out-

numbered by about two to one, and on the night of the 25th/26th a retreat was ordered. On 3rd December, after a series of rear-guard actions, Kut was
reached in safety. The town lies on a strip of land, one mile broad and two deep, with the Tigris on three sides of it (see plan on p. 170). Across the neck of this strip entrenchments were dug, and buildings on the farther, that is the south side of the river,^ were also fortified. On the 9th the Turks commenced the assault and drove in the southern outpost. Four attacks on loth December were beaten back and, after a period of comparative rest, a fifth on the 24th, supported by heavy reinforcements, met with a like fate. Meanwhile the enemy, in order to hold up any relieving expedition, erected strong fortifications below the town, chiefly at Es Sinn on the south bank and at Hanna and Sanna-i-Yat on the north bank where there were extensive marshes. The winter rains now set in, turning much of the country into a morass, but early in January, 1916, a relieving column under General Aylmer, although hampered by lack of transport, reached Hanna, twenty miles away, where it was checked and had to

Although rations had been reduced to a half and then to a fourth, and supplies had been dropped from aeroplanes, all food in Kut, including the battery bullocks and mules, had now been consumed, and on 29th April, arms and ammunition having been destroyed, the town, after a siege of five months,
surrendered.

Corp. H. J. Belben (4th Hants, Educ), serving with one of the relieving columns, died of disease at Amara on 19th January, 1916.

The British spent the summer and autumn of 1916 on the defensive, but the time was fully occupied by Sir Stanley Maude, now commander-in-chief, in

171

organising transport, in accumulating stores, in training the reinforcements which were being freely
sent, and generally in preparing for an advance. The Turks also laboured incessantly, constructing on the

south side of the river at Kut, one within the other, four elaborate trench systems, the outermost of which extended for about thirty miles. The British attack

opened on 13th December with a bombardment of


the Sanna-i-Yat defences. This was only a feint, for the main body, crossing the desert, advanced towards

Kut along both banks of the Shatt-el-Hai which connects the Tigris with the Euphrates. The ruse succeeded and the defending troops were taken by surprise. Heavy rains now fell for several weeks, but the troops pressed on and by 19th January, 191 7,

much desperate fighting, had cleared the enemy from the four trench systems east of the Hai and had reached the Tigris. This success was followed on 3rd February by the storming of the defences which covered the junction of the Tigris and the Hai, and by the 15th the enemy had been cleared from the elaborate

Access was secured to Enzali, a port on the Caspian near Rasht, and a small expedition was sent in August to help in the defence of Baku, the important centre for oil on the west coast of the Caspian.

During September, when the crops had been harvested, their army 1915, was mobihsed, ostensibly to maintain an armed neutrality. Early in October an Austro-German under Von Mackensen invaded Serbia expedition from the north and the Bulgarians, at length throwing aside all pretence, attacked the Serbians from the east. The Serbian army, already reduced by a year's fighting to about 100,000, was thus set upon by forces four or five times as numerous, and, in spite of an heroic resistance, was rapidly driven back.

Roads and bridges were therefore made, wells sunk, suppHes stored, hospitals and buildings of all sorts erected, and to enable it to cope with the extra traffic the harbour was deepened and improved. Although the Allies had been officially invited to Salonica, an influential party among the Greeks opposed their work in every way. Worse followed, for on 26th May, 19 16, Rupel, commanding the valley of the Struma, was seized by the Bulgarians, the Greeks apparently conniving.

On 30th September and succeeding days British troops captured Zir, and other positions towards Seres, and on 31st October captured Barakli Jumaa.

CHAPTER XHL
British Troops in Italy.
Austria.

Italy had two main reasons for declaring war upon First, she was alarmed by the latter's designs Serbia and the cast coast of the Adriatic; the upon success of these would naturally gravely impair Italian influence in the Mediterranean. Secondly, she was

i8i

anxious to recover Italian lands, held by the Austrians, such as the Trentino in South Tirol, and Trieste and In the spring of Istria north-east of the Adriatic. Austria made certain vague offers which were 19 15, regarded as quite insufficient, and on 23rd May, 1915, after further indecisive parlcyings, Italy declared war. The Trentino projects into Italy in a great sahent,
so that the danger of the Austrians secretly collecting troops for a sudden attack had to be guarded against.

Fortunately the frontier around this salient and to the


east Ues along the crests of the Alps, which are crossed by only a few passes. The Italians were satisfied with

containing, by frequent local attacks, a number of the enemy in this part, while they made their chief attacks through open country on the east towards the
Isonzo. During 1915 no fewer than five great assaults were launched in this direction. In June, 1916, an Austrian counter-offensive from the Trentino, which at first seemed very threatening, was driven back, and in August the attacks upon the Isonzo were resumed, with the result that Gorizia was taken, and the line carried forward across the Carso plateau south of the town. A further advance there and across the Bainsizza plateau north of the town in May, 1917, was checked by the Austrians, but the attack, in which a few British heavy batteries assisted, was resumed
later

with some success. Towards the end of October, 19 17, the Austrians, aided by Germans, attacked the Italian 2nd Army near Caporetto to the north of Gorizia. The defence, war-weary and much discouraged by troubles amongst the civil population, offered little resistance,^ and on
the 26th, in order to ensure the safety of the rest of the line, a general retreat was ordered. This continued until I2th November when the river Piave

During the autumn, signs of a loss of moral among the Austrians began to be noted, and General Diaz, although his forces were fewer in number, decided to attempt a break through. He first ordered an attack up the valley of the Brenta and, when the enemy's reserves were thoroughly engaged in that sector,
directed a general attack to the east. As part of this the Earl of Cavan, now commanding the loth ItaUan Army which included the 7th and 23rd British Diviriver, on but it was the front of attack, was over a mile wide, broken up by numerous islands, the chief of which, the Grave di Papadopoh, was three miles long by one

1,500 European settlers. By energetic recruiting the total strength was eventually raised during the war to over 30,000 with 2,300 Europeans, the arms and

along the central railway alone. The wastage among animals for two months from the middle of September was, horses 10,000, mules 10,000, oxen 11,000, donkeys
2,500.

In January, 1917, when Lettow-Vorbeck had been in in the south-eastern part of the colony, Smuts was recalled to take part in the Imperial Con-

ference, and about this time all white infantry and mounted troops were withdrawn. He was succeeded by General Hoskins who, in May, was succeeded by At the end of the latter General Van Deventer. a sortie to the north-west was met and driven month back by the Belgians who, during the summer, continued their advance and in October drove a German

force

from Mahenge. Van Deventer, working from Lindi on the coast, defeated the Germans in several engagements in November, captured some 5,000 prisoners, and forced Lettow-Vorbeck with the remnants of his troops across the Ro\aima into Portu-

guese territory. In 1918 the British, with assistance from the Portuguese, carried out active operations in Portuguese territory against the Germans, who some-

made daring raids but more often fled further and further afield. One detachment under General Wahle returned northward into German East Africa and was captured. The main body eventually got into Northern Rhodesia and was there at the contimes
clusion of hostilities when, in

accordance with the

Armistice, Lettow-Vorbeck was ordered by his Government to surrender.

Deaths from Disease.


In previous wars those dying from disease have usually outnumbered those killed in action. Thus, as recently as the Crimean War, the proportion was four or five to one, in the American Civil War and in the South African War it was about two to one. On the Prussian side in the Franco-German War in 1870 and on the Japanese side in the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-5, the latter proportion was reversed, but this was secured only as the result of much careful attention to the It was not cleanhness and habits of each soldier. until the Great War that, on most of the fronts, deaths from disease became negligible in comparison with those of men killed in action. This was partly due to
the greater destructiveness of modern weapons, but

193
still

more

to the increased skill of medical

men

in

preventing disease. This particularly applies to the troops in western Europe. Those elsewhere were not so fortunate, and suffered from malaria in Salonica,
Palestine

and Mesopotamia, dysentery in Gallipoli, and various tropical diseases in Africa. Some deaths

directly due to the conditions of active service abroad have been dealt with already under the different cam-

paigns.

part, in all the fighting. It is natural and right that our interest should centre in them, but the events of

the war and the final victory must be regarded as a whole, not singly, nor even in relation to one country. The British Empire did not win the war, nor did
France, nor Italy, nor the United States, although, if any of these had been absent, the result might have

been far different; nor was any country alone in her endurance and in her sacrifices. So, when the final reckoning comes to be made, let it be remembered that Russia's losses were the heaviest, and that, but for her
prolonged over two years in the face of every the position of the Allies on the other fronts would have been most dangerous, if not impossible. For more than four years Belgium, a narrow strip excepted, was under the sway of a foreign despotism, her people were liable at any moment to heavy fines, to imprisonment and to deportation, and her industries were being impaired or even ruined. The like misfortunes befell Roumania but for a shorter time. The fate of Serbia was more terrible. After her army had been crushed by overwhelming numbers,
