Ken Lees Posted 19 May , 2005 Share Posted 19 May , 2005 I used the Armistice as the cut off date right from the beginning and so have not done much research on demobilisation. This, however, would be covered in another projected book, a proposal for which I have just submitted to my publisher. I can't really tell you much else about it at this juncture. Suffice to say that I have come across very little in print which gives anything more than a very superficial overview of the subject. Charles M <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Charles. If your next project is anything like as impressive as the last one, I'll be delighted to add it to my groaning bookshelf. Regards, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Doesn't it? I'm sure mine does. I go out, come home later and it's clean. I'll ask my wife if she knows how it happens.

Matt Dixon Posted 10 June , 2005 Share Posted 10 June , 2005 Everything that has been written above leaves me with very little to add. An excellent book and a magnificent achievement Charles. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted 31 August , 2005 Share Posted 31 August , 2005 Just finished it! Congratulations,Charles, every time I put it down I was looking forward to getting back to it. It provided a lot of very useful information, especially on the less well-known types of unit that I've had difficulty in finding out anything about. The section on honours and awards was thought-provoking as I've long had my doubts about how some were earned. The book gave me some useful snippets of info for my own studies and several other books to chase up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armourersergeant Posted 6 March , 2006 Share Posted 6 March , 2006 I know I am on the slow track here but had this for xmas and I can not recommend this enough, it has been a revelation to me. I would go as far to say that I learnt more from this one book than the last ten I have read about the Great War. What makes it more fascinating is that it is the side of the war that gets little cover, IMO, yet is so crucial to everything that happened. An army marches on its stomach they say and this book is to me about that. Not the battles they fought but how they got their and what enabled them to become perhaps the most effective fighting army this country has ever sent overseas. The author should be justly proud and commended for this work, it is truely a cracking book, full of facts, yet not stuffy with info that you can not take it in. regards Arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longboat Posted 19 July , 2009 Share Posted 19 July , 2009 This book deserves high praise in my humble opinion. Not only a great read but an invaluable resourse which I know that I will come back to. If anybody wants to know all about the expansion of the BEF and the logistics involved then this book is a must have! regards Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
