This book, originally published in 1981, tells the story of the regular soldiers and reservists of the British Expeditionary Force (B. E. F.) who fought in the first six months of the First World War on the Western Front. This photographic history of the B. E. F. is unique in that the photographs were taken not by official war photographers, but either by the few press photographers who were able to get near the Front or by members of the B. E. F themselves. Complementing the photographs are many first-hand accounts of their experiences by 'Old Contemptibles' and an authoritative text by Keith Simpson.

Life is constant assimilation of information. We vary greatly in what is of interest to us and how we process it. One thing is sure; we all have the ability to learn. This process begins when we are children and first realize that there is something out there. Some of us are taught to wonder while others of us are taught not to ask. As we develop, we store information in different ways. Some ask and understand while others have to experience things to remember them. The information presented in this "Six Phase Approach" is organized in a transitional format that progresses from clarification, discovery and understanding our actions, to reunification through willingness and change into a level of experience and self-security wherein one may honorably lead others into a new lifestyle of personal prosperity.
