From the moment the German army moved quietly into Luxemburg on 2
August 1914, to the Armistice on 11 November 1918, the fighting on
the Western Front in France and Flanders never stopped. There were
quiet periods, just as there were the most intense, savage,
huge-scale battles. The war on the Western Front can be thought of
as being in three phases: first, a war of movement as Germany
attacked France and the Allies sought to halt it; second, the
lengthy and terribly costly siege warfare as the entrenched lines
proved impossible to crack (late 1914 to mid-1918); and finally a
return to mobile warfare as the Allies applied lessons and
technologies forged in the previous years. As with previous wars,
British Commanders-in-Chief of a theatre of war or campaign were
obliged to report their activities and achievements to the War
Office in the form of a despatch and those written from the Western
Front provide a fascinating, detailed and compelling overview of
this part of the First World War. This volume concludes with Field
Marshal Sir Douglas Haig's fascinating despatch, originally
published in 1919, on the execution of the fighting on the Western
Front.
