Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Campaign of in France and Belgium IT needs but little research to lead the fair-minded student to the conclusion that, behind the immediate causes Of the great war, there were others Of Old standing and wider pur port, combinations and divisions Of interest which, for many years, had brought upon the European family penalties only less heavy than those Of open conflict. Several times Of late, the same States had narrowly escaped this calamity; and, in the teeth Of a growing desire for settled peace, the preparations for war on land and sea were everywhere stead ily increased. These increases Of armament (as in the Anglo German naval rivalry, and the German and French return to three-years army service) were always dangerous, not only as direct threats, but, indirectly, as alterations Of the balance Of means to ends other than national defense, the most important Of which ends were the acquirement Of (1) foreign possessions, (2) Spheres Of special or exclusive eco nomic interest, (3) political predominance, either in Europe generally, or in particular areas. Every one of the Great, and several of the small, Powers had fished in these troubled waters; and there was not one Of them that could Show perfectly clean hands. Even Belgium, not so long since, was being held accountable for the heritage Of misrule in the Congo. There were no angelic States; all had dabbled in the imperial vices, from land-grabbing to diplomatic intrigue. Nevertheless, it may be said that there were many and not inconsiderable differences in the bias Of their policy, due, for the most part, neither to original sin, nor to abnormal virtue, but to historical and geographical circumstances for.

Download or read book On the Western Front written by George W. Blank and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Western Front: German Cruelties in France and Belgium In writing these pages, I have aimed to place the truth and that alone; therefore, I am writing the true chronological record of the Fifth U. S. A. Evacuation Hospital, from its formative period, November 18th and 19th, 1917, at the U. S. Government Medical Training Camp, at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., up to the closing scenes of this medical unit, and the mustering out of its personnel, at several camps, including Camp Upton, Long Island, N. Y.; Camp Dix, New Jersey; Camp Devens, Massachusetts; Camp Sherman, Ohio, and several other Western camps. First of all, those who are interested in the world's greatest war, will find food for thought; but - you will not find any fiction. This, I endeavored to avoid. I aim to make these lines so they will be interesting to all. First of all, we are non-combating troops. We did not return to America, the greatest nation of the world, with framed-up stories. "How we went over the top." Position At The Front. We were compelled to take a position at the front ("In the War Zone") about four miles from the firing line. Those who have only a vague idea of distance may say it was far enough back, but for the benefit of those who entertain this thought, should have been with us at Sery-Magneval, near Crepy, France, Chateau-Thierry and Villers-Cotterets, and Soissons (Swi-Sawn) front. At these places, the German night air raiders hovered like a vulture (after prey) over us and dropped plenty of big bombs every favorable night ("When it wasn't raining"; they could not see well to fly when raining). The bombing periods usually lasted from fifteen minutes to half an hour. Enemy aeroplanes, bombing machines, appeared all hours of the night, and made it very uncomfortable for us. However, we grew hardened to the horrible sound of the Hun motor ("like a huge bee"). After a short time at the front, the sound of the Hun motor meant only a warning to us. It was the bombs they dropped that counted. While we were on several different fronts in France, from what we learned while operating in "No Man's Land" in Belgium, we were the only Evacuation Hospital on the Belgium Front in West Flanders. We were in active service, located at the "Blown Down Town" of Staden, Belgium, when the armistice was granted; firing ceased by the American batteries at 11 o'clock p. m. French time (five hours' difference in U. S. time), 6 o'clock Washington time. I have written this book chiefly for an "After the war livelihood." In addition to the chronological record of the Fifth Evacuation Hospital under canvas, you will also find a chronological record of the world's greatest war, which you will find not only interesting, but educational. You will find things of a personal character within the book, but you will find them interesting. I have taken them from my journal or diary of events that happened to me and objects that I saw, and of characters that I conversed with from time to time.

Download or read book The Marne Campaign Classic Reprint written by Frederick Ernest Whitton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marne Campaign For years before the outbreak of the European war, a war which had been foreseen by. All soldiers who were acquainted; with the preparations being made for it in Germany and, to a less extent, elsewhere on the Continent, military experts had been discussing the administrative prob lems which the handling Of the huge armies of the present day must create. It was asserted in some quarters that the staffs concerned would find it impracticable to manoeuvre these colossal bodies of men when the issue came to be put to the test, that swift transfers of force over a wide extent of country were no longer feasible, and that the very size of the armies employed must henceforward militate against the development of vertebrate and decisive operations of war. These anticipations were not borne out by the events with which this volume deals. Whatever the experiences of the contending sides may have been subsequent to the contest of the Marne, the course of operations in Belgium and France up to, and including, that memorable struggle, serves to belie the theory that the vast numbers which are placed in the field to-day necessarily forbid the carrying out of strategical combinations hinging on mobility.

Download or read book Behind the Scenes at the Front Classic Reprint written by George Jefferys Adam and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Behind the Scenes at the Front This book describes the political conditions in France on the eve of the outbreak of the war, and endeavours to give a picture of the period of Siege warfare which began when the race northwards from the Aisne brought the Allies and the Germans face to face throughout the whole length of Southern Belgium and of France. The choice of the material of the book has been dictated by personal experience. Those are the two phases of the war with which the author is most familiar. As correspondent of The Times, he was invited to pay a series of visits to the front in France and in Belgium during the five winter months. This book is the result of those visits to the lines. Its object is not to attempt the hopeless task of furnishing a history of this period. If it gives to the reader some small idea of the splendour of the British effort in Flanders, if it conveys but a hundredth part of the author's admiration for the army and the people of France, it will have attained its object.

Download or read book The British Campaign in France and Flanders written by Arthur Conan Doyle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Campaign in France and Flanders: January to July 1918 This fifth volume deals with one of the most tremendous episodes in history, when the vigour of the German attack and the desperate resistance of the British both on the Somme and in Flanders, held an awestruck world in suspense. A million men released from the Russian front, rolled across Europe and, swelling that great tide which was already banked up before the British breakwater, it washed over all the front line barriers and threatened at one time to sweep down to the sea. The account of how the British Army, upon which incomparably the greater pressure fell, rose to the occasion and first slowed and then held the terrific flood is one of the most wonderful Of military epics. At the same time every credit must be given to the loyalty of the French commanders who, while guarding their own extended lines, endeavoured to spare all possible help to their hard-pressed Allies. This volume carries the story of the German attack to its close. The next and final one will describe the enormous counter-attack of the Allies leading up to their final victory.
