SB. xi + 360pp with five illus and one map Published Price £14.50 With the resurgence of fighting in Afghanistan, books like this memoir by a young British officer fighting Queen Victoriaâs wars of Empire taker on an added resonance. The author was a young officer of the 31st (Huntingdonshire)Regiment of Foot , who, according to Harts Army List, purchased his commission and was appointed ensign (2Lt) on 6 May 1836, promoted to lieutenant in 1839 and captain in 1846, at which rank he stuck till going on half pay in April 1858. In the Cardwell army reforms of 1881 the Huntingdonshires became the 1st Battalion East Surreys.This book covers seven years from 1836 to 1843 The first five chapters cover Greenwoodâs service in India until in January 1842 he joined the march to Afghanistan under Major-General Pollock. His account of those years is a highly entertaining one, enlivened with many tales. He describes his entry into the army (his mother had hoped he would go into the church) preparations for his voyage to India with details of uniform, clothing, weapons and baggage bought accompanied by plenty of advice to anyone else making the same journey. On one extraordinary occasion during the voyage out they caught a shark, which, when they opened it up they found a newspaper of a later date than any they had on board, which they were able to read. He has plenty of stories of regimental life in India, about tigers, elephants, bears, snakes, pig-sticking and more. The next six chapters are taken up with an account of the Afghan relief column, commanded by General Pollock, which set out to avenge the massacre of the British force retreating from Kabul to Jellalabad when the 44th (Essex) Regiment and its civilian followers were wiped out, and there are graphic descriptions of the fighting. In December 1842 Greenwood began his journey home, and only at this stage do we learn that he has a wife, waiting for him in Meerut. He concludes his book with some remarks about the Indian Army, the native regiments and the men in his command. He gives details of pay and allowances and a subalternâs expenses - and a roll call call of British regiments then serving in India. ALtogether a fascinating account of British India in the years just before the Great Mutiny.

SB.36pp with 2 large full colour maps (printed over 18 pages) & 10 panorama sketchies.Published Price £18 Le Cateau, with Mons, was one of the two major engagements fought by the British Expeditionary Force in France in the opening weeks of the Great War. The battle, fought chiefly by the BEFâs II Corps under the command of General Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien on 26th August 1914, came about because of the confusion caused by the unexpected speed and weight of the German advance, which had routed General Lanrezacâs French Vth army. The BEF, endeavouring to cover for the French, found itself out oon a limb around the small town of Le Cateau. On the night of 25th August, the local commanders, - aware that to continue the retreat at daylight in conjunction with the fleeing French, as ordered by GHQ, would open them to the dangers of an attack by General von Kluckâs 1st Army in front of them while they were in the process of retiring - took the decision to stand and fight. GHQ, some 23 miles away at St Quentin, concurred. The discipline of the BEF"s musketry, including units of the Argyll and Suffolk regiments, held the advancing enemy at bay, although the German machine-gun fire inflicted heavy casualties. The action held up the German juggernaut for a vital day, but the retreat continued. This official combined tour guide and pack of battlefield maps, produced by the War Office in 1933 as another war with Germany loomed, gives a clear step by step unfolding of the battle with the aid of a series of topographical sketches and a main battle map showing the movements of the opposing armies. There are notes on the units involved, the mistakes made, and the lessons learned. An invaluable addition to the armoury of the growing number of Great War enthusiasts and visitors to the western front. Smith-Dorrien was made the scapegoat for the battle and lost his command.

Published Price £18 The First Battle of the Aisne, between 12-15th September 1914, was essentially a follow-up to the Battle of the Marne (8-10th September) in which the German advance on Paris had been checked and then turned back. This pamphlet, maps and tour is the official War Office guide to the battlefield, which was the watershed between the war of movement and the beginnning of trench warfare, published in 1934. Acting in conjunction with the French Fifth army on its right, and the Sixth Army on its left, and under the orders of the French C-in-C Gen. Joffre, the BEF advanced on the 12th, gaining the heights south of the River Aisne, and on the left south of Venizel reached a bridge over the river itself, which was captured that night in heavy fighting. To the left of the BEF, the French had also reached the Aisne between Compeigne and Soissons, while on the right the French had reached the River Vesle between Beaumont and Fismes. By the night of the 12/13th the gap between Von Kluckâs First and Von Bulowâs second Armies had widened to 18 miles, making it difficult for the Germans to man a defensive line along the Aisne. On 13th September the BEF crossed the Aisne, despite heavy opposition from the Germans who had brought up reserves to strengthen their line. On the 14th, hampered by a heavy mist, the BEF made little progress in their advance; fighting was intense and losses heavy, with every battalion but one of the BEF engaged. On the 15th, the final day of the battle, GHQ ordered the BEF to entrench the positions they had reached. Determined German counter-attacks were all repulsed. The guide gives an account of the battle, notes from the 1914 Training Manuals; lessons learned from the fighting; a study of operations at night; and the order of battle for the British, French, and German forces engaged. The pack comes with three main battlefield maps illustrating the unfolding action and five sketch maps showing the stands to view the panorama of the battlefield.
