Notes
This is a First Edition. Personal Accounts are looked at very carefully before they come into the Collection. However, this one is very useful in that it is written by someone who was there, at the crucial time, and was written immediately after the war and not taken from diaries. The story covers the period before mobilisation, then the crossing over to France, then Mons, Le Cateau, Noyon, the turn of the tide, the Aisne, Flanders (First Ypres) and the close of the year.
