The Retreat from Mons - A Personal Narrative
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a firsthand account of one of the most significant military campaigns during the early stages of World War I, as told by Field Marshal Lord French. Published by the Riverside Press in Cambridge in 1917, this book offers a detailed and insightful look into the events leading up to the First Battle of the Marne and the subsequent retreat of the Allied forces from Mons in August 1914. In the preface to this historical volume, Lord French, who served as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force during the early part of the war, reflects on the strategic decisions made during the retreat and the challenges faced by the Allied forces in the face of the German onslaught. He provides a candid assessment of the military situation, offering valuable insights into the tactics and strategies employed by both sides. The Retreat from Mons is a seminal work in the annals of military history, providing a unique perspective on the opening salvos of the Great War. The book is richly illustrated with maps and photographs, including this striking image of the retreating troops making their way through the Belgian countryside. The soldiers, weary and bedraggled, trudge along the road, their faces etched with the strain and fatigue of their long march. In the distance, the smoke of battle rises from the horizon, a reminder of the fierce fighting that has taken place and the uncertain future that lies ahead. Lord French's account of the retreat from Mons is a testament to the courage and resilience of the soldiers who fought in the early days of the war. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served in the armed forces during this pivotal moment in history. This rare and valuable book continues to be a valuable resource for scholars, military historians, and anyone interested in the history of World War I.
