This book will be the first complete account of the operations of
the German army in the battles north of Lille in the late autumn of
1914\. The main emphasis will be placed on the battles around Ypres
against the Old Contemptibles of the BEF, but the fighting against
the French and Belgian armies will also be featured, thus providing
fresh, broader, insights into a campaign. There are those who
consider that the BEF was all that saved world civilisation as the
first year of the Great War drew to its end. The book uses the
comprehensive histories of the participating German regiments found
in the Kriegsarchiv in Munich and the Hauptstaatsarchiv in
Stuttgart. Their use adds authority and authenticity to the book.
The narrative adopts a chronological approach. The book focuses on
some of the most bitterly disputed battles of the first three
months of the war, when the Germans strained to achieve a
breakthrough and the BEF resisted heroically, at the price of its
own destruction. The book employs a similar format to the authors
previous works; that is to say the greater part of the text uses
the words of the German participants themselves and the primary
focus of the book covers the experiences of the fighting troops at
regimental level and below. Linking paragraphs provide historical
context and commentary and evidence from senior commanders will be
introduced as necessary.
