Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The war the British mounted soldiers knew on the Western FrontThis is an anonymously written recollection of a British cavalry officer (possibly of the 4th Hussars) from the first year of the Great War on the Western Front. We join the author at the First Battle of Ypres, upon the Somme and at the Battle Arras. After a rest period he returned to the front at Cambrai-Bourlon Wood and the defence of Amiens. The final chapters include the cavalry's experience of the final offensive of the war as the allies were at last able to 'put the Gee in gap', and as the army reached the Rhine bring the conflict to a close. The author survived the war and describes Germany at the end of the war. An excellent First World War memoir written in a personable style and full of dialogue and anecdotes. The book contains illustrations reflecting the incidents described in the text as they appeared in the original edition.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
