Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This is an outstanding personal memoir penned by a German infantry
officer recalling his experiences during the initial days and weeks
of the war in the West, July-September 1914. Walter Bloem was a
Captain in the German 12th Grenadier Regiment (Royal Prussian
Grenadier Regiment Prinz Carl von Preuen, 2nd Brandenburg, Nr 12 -
to give his unit its full title). His narrative gives a superb
insight into the outbreak of war and his regiment's mobilization,
followed by the advance through Belgium and France, including the
author's participation at the battles of Mons, Le Cateau, the Marne
and the Aisne.His account of what it was like to face Britain's
'Old Contemptibles' at Mons is particularly valuable. Before the
war, the author was a novelist, and The Advance from Mons clearly
shows this - it is written with a great eye for detail, careful yet
vivid descriptions abound and importantly, from a historical
perspective, the book was penned whilst Herr Bloem convalesced from
a wound he received at the battle of the Aisne. Such was the
quality of his writing, that J.E. Edmonds, the British official
historian of the Great War commented: "Some of the scenes ... are
so truly and vividly depicted that I gave translations of them in
the Official History, feeling that they could not be bettered."
This is a high quality reprint of the 1930 original, newly
typeset.REVIEWS ..".what makes this book special is the fact that
Bloehm was a novelist in civilian life, and uses his literary
skills to describe in detail the actions and emotions from the
perspective of a front line soldier....Bloehm wrote in late 1914
while convalescing from wounds, so the vivid details of these first
two months of the war were still fresh and unclouded. "Military
