It was here that Staff officers routinely worked late into the
night, weekends really did not exist, leave was intermittent, and
those who worked here would have suffered from that additional
sense of guilt about being away from the action. An important gap
in the understanding of the administration of war is filled by
Frank Fox's work in this book first published in 1920. The addition
of the never generally published statistical summary of casualties,
ammunition and supplies adds to the appreciation of Haig's
achievement. Frank Fox was commissioned into the British Army at
the age of 41, and back in France by December 1914.He suffered
severe injuries during the Battle of the Somme, and spent a year
recovering in hospital back in England. Yet still, he wanted to be
back to the front,and succeeded in getting himself a job at Haig's
HQ at Montreuil-sur-Mer. Includes "THE GAME BOOK" of unpublished
statistics.
