About This Book

A divisional commander's study based on frontline experience describes the organization and operations of a contemporary large army on the Western Front. It explains strategy and tactics, the composition and duties of divisions and staffs, and the growing military uses of aviation. Separate chapters examine trench systems, artillery roles including anti-aircraft and tanks, and the logistics of munition parks and transport. The work surveys infantry arms, training and assault versus defensive procedures, and signaling, and it closes with illustrated examples of attack preparation alongside critical observations on prohibited or dubious methods of warfare.

Veuillez y voir l’hommage d’un vieux soldat de France pour le talent et l’énergie que vous avez deployés depuis cinq mois pour hâter l’envoi sur le front français des troupes Américaines.

Veuillez agréer, Excellence, l’expression de mon plus profond respect.
