MartinWills Posted 9 January , 2008 Share Posted 9 January , 2008 I think you have the publisher and author swopped over - it was published by John Lane and written by W. Shaw Sparrow. It's an interesting comparison with Gough's own account "The March Retreat" published in 1934 which was in fact lifted as a complete section from "The Fifth Army" published in 1931. I believe Gough wanted to make his defence of the Fifth Army and the retreat available to men who perhaps couldn't afford the grander volume.

simonharley Posted 10 January , 2008 Share Posted 10 January , 2008 The book is available at Google Books. If you go to icanhide.com, type in www.books.google.com (click "Surf"), then search for "The Fifth Army in March 1918", it ought to come top of the list, and is then either readable online or available for free download.
