Download or read book The Battles in Flanders From Ypres to Neuve Chapelle written by Edmund Dane and published by HODDER AND STOUGHTON. This book was released on 1915 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the middle of November last there has been on the West front in the present war what many have called and considered a "deadlock." In the account which follows of that part of the campaign represented by the battles in Flanders the true character of the great and brilliant military scheme by means of which, and against apparently impossible odds, the Allied commanders succeeded in reducing the main fighting forces of Germany to impotence, and in defeating the purposes of the invasion, will, I hope, become clear. The success or failure of that scheme depended upon the issue of the Battle of Ypres. Not only was that great battle the most prolonged, furious, and destructive clash of arms yet known, but upon it also, for reasons which in fact disclose the real history of this struggle, hung the issue of the War as a whole. No accident merely of a despot's desires caused the fury and the terror of Ypres. It was the big bid of Prussian Militarism for supremacy. Equally in the terrible and ghastly defeat it there sustained Prussian Militarism faced its doom.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ypres to Verdun: A Collection of Photographs of the War Areas in France Flanders An official visit to the Front during the great days of October, 1918, when our chief difficulty and our great object was to keep up with the retreating Germans, gave me some first-hand knowledge of the devastation of the country which had been the result of four years of war. Familiar - too familiar - as this was to our soldiers, we at home - if I may take myself as a fair example of the average man - could really form no idea, even from the most vivid of the correspondents' descriptions, of what the ruined country was actually like. Roads, fields, orchards, were a featureless waste of shell-holes, often already covered with rank herbage altogether disguising their original nature. Villages were only recognisable by painted notices, "This is Givenchy," or sometimes "This was Givenchy"; not a house, not a wall, not a gate-post to show where they had been. Large towns like Ypres or Lens or Albert were little more than piles of brick, stone, and timber rubbish, through which roads were being cleared between immense piles of debris. In Rheims nearly as many houses were destroyed as the 13,000 said to have been burnt in the Great Fire of London, and smaller places like Soissons or Cambrai or Arras had suffered terribly. It was forbidden in our Army Areas at that time, no doubt for excellent reasons, to use a camera, but I made up my mind that when permission could be obtained I would do my best to secure some permanent record of what had happened.

Download or read book The Battles of French Flanders written by Jon Cooksey and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battles fought by the British army in 1915, in the second year of the First World War, are less well known than those fought immediately after the outbreak of war in 1914 and those that followed in 1916 which culminated in the Battle of the Somme. But the fighting at Aubers Ridge, Festubert, Neuve Chapelle and Loos was just as severe as was the 1916 battle at Fromelles and the battlefields are just as interesting to explore today. This volume in the Battle Lines series is the perfect guide to them.Expert guides Jon Cooksey and Jerry Murland take visitors over a series of routes that can be walked, biked or driven, explaining the fighting that occurred at each place in vivid detail. They describe what happened, where it happened and why and who was involved, and point out the sights that remain for the visitor to see. Their highly illustrated guidebook is essential reading for visitors who wish to enhance their understanding of warfare on the Western Front.

Download or read book Canada in Flanders Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Max Aitken Beaverbrook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada in Flanders, Vol. 2 The narrative of the Second Battle of Ypres was written on the spot and immediately after the action. It was not until long afterwards that it was possible to collect and collate the whole of the battalion diaries. The story, therefore, could only be compiled from the personal reports of the officers commanding units, and in some cases these were not avail able, and certain regiments did not therefore receive the prominence which was their due. These regiments will, I am sure, readily under stand that the omission was not intentional, but due to the impossibility of making sure of all the details of a great and confused action until months after the event. Although the material has become available, I have decided not to attempt to rewrite the story. It is, in its main features, absolutely accurate, and has the advantage which must belong to any narrative written within sound of the guns, and while the impressions of the battle field are still vivid to the mind. I am, in fact, afraid that any attempt on my part to reconstruct the narrative would spoil whatever merit it may possess. In the first place, it IS necessary, however, to make good some mistakes in the first volume which have been pointed out by persons who were engaged in various actions.vi canada IN flanders.

Download or read book History of the War written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War, Vol. 6 In Vol. I. (Chapters XXIII., XXVI. and XXVII.) we dealt with the first offensive of the French in Alsace, their offensive in Lorraine and the Ardennes, the series of battles on the Meuse and Sambre and the glorious retreat of the Allies to the banks of the Marne; while in Vol. II. (Chapters XXXII., XXXIV., XLV. and XLVI.) the Battles of the Marne and Aisne, the condition of Paris under the rule of General Gallieni during those terrible days when the fortunes of the Parisians, of France, and the civilized world hung in the balance, together with the extension accompanied by the Battles of Roye-Peronne and Arras of the western wings of the opposing armies from Compiegne to the North Sea at Nieuport Bains, were described and their strategical significance discussed. The Battle of Flanders, comprising the numerous struggles known as the Battle of the Yser, the first Battle of Ypres, and the Battle of Armentières-La Bassée, was the culmination of that extension. In Vol. III. (Chapters Vol. VI. - Part 66. XLVIII., LIV., LXII. LXIII.) and in Vol. IV. (Chapter LXV.) the desperate and successful resistance opposed by the Belgian Army, which had escaped from Antwerp, and by General d'Urbal's and Sir John French's armies to the last attempt of the Kaiser to turn or pierce the left wing of the Allies in the western theatre of war was narrated, and in Vol. III. (Chapter LXI.) and in Vol. IV. (Chapter LXX.) some particulars were given of the autumn and winter campaign in Central and Eastern France. The present chapter is designed to provide a sketch of the main operations conducted by the French from the end of the battle of Flanders to the moves preliminary to the Battle of Artois, which began on May 9, 1915. Between those dates, north of La Bassee, had occurred the bloody Battle of Neuve Chapelle, the combats of St. Eloi and Hill 60 and the Second Battle of Ypres, at which the Canadians first met the Germans and the Germans first began the use of poisonous gas.

Download or read book The Battle for Flanders written by Chris Baker and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of the Lys, fought in April 1918, was critical for the Allies and for Germany. The outcome of the Great War hung in the balance. After the successful German offensive on the Somme, their breakthrough on the Lys threatened Ypres and the British hold on Flanders and brought them close to victory on the Western Front. The Allied line was broken - it was only saved by improvisation and great gallantry - and the German onslaught tested Allied cooperation under the newly appointed Generalissimo Ferdinand Foch to the limit. Yet, as Chris Baker shows in this compelling account, the declining force of the German attack revealed deficiencies in material, organization and morale that led to their ultimate defeat.
