British Battle Planning in 1916 and the Battle of Fromelles (eBook, ePUB)

A Case Study of an Evolving Skill

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Battle of Fromelles (19-20 July 1916) witnessed the first time Australian forces were used in offenses on the Western Front, and thus looms large in Commonwealth perceptions of 'Bumbling British Generals'. This book follows the battle plan from the supreme commander's strategic designs down through the commands at operational and tactical headquarters until it became the orders sending the infantry into the attack. In so doing it provides a unique insight into the strengths and weaknesses of British command structure, allowing a more scholarly judgement of its effectiveness.
