2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1922). SB. xvi + 485pp with 12 b/w illus and 17 mapsPublished Price £22 The 18th (Eastern) Division was formed in mid-September 1914, part of Kitchenerâ s Second New Army. It was lucky in its first GOC, Ivor Maxse, who had been brought home from commanding the 1st (Guards) Brigade, an officer well known for his ability in training skills and for demanding the highest standards. He was to be their GOC until January 1917, when he was replaced by another highly capable commander, Richard Philip Lee, who remained in command for the rest of the war. With the advantage of having only two GOCs, both of such a calibre, the 18th Division reached a very high peak of efficiency and became one of the best in the BEF. It was awarded eleven VCs, the second highest number awarded to a non-regular division, after the twelve won by the 55th (W Lanc) Division, and gained over 4,300 other awards; total casualties amounted to 46,503.This is a well written history, one of the better works of its kind. It reads more like an adventure story than the somewhat stiff and formal style we find with some divisional histories. Cyril Falls rates it highly. The author was a journalist and this is reflected in his style of writing. He served in the division as an artillery officer in the 82nd Brigade RFA and his account takes in events great and small, the major battles and day to day happenings. He makes good use of official documents such as location states, operational orders, order of battle and citations as well as personal anecdotes and experiences. There is the curious statement that during a period of rest during Third Ypres the division was visited by the corps commander, Hunter Weston. In fact Maxse was the commander, their old divisional commander; the 18th Division never served in a corps commanded by â Hunter Bunterâ . His account of the Battle of Boom Ravine (February 1917), suggests a clear cut victory, certainly not the case. He makes no reference to the fact that Gough (Fifth Army Commander) ordered an enquiry immediately after the battle to ascertain why the attack on 17th February failed to achieve the objectives. He does describe an act of treachery in which two men from a neighbouring division went over to the enemy and revealed the time of the attack. This, too, was the subject of an enquiry ordered by Gough. This is an enjoyable read.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Good to very good, blue cloth boards faded to spine with black titles to front and spine, some light wear to top and bottom of spine and rubbed to corners, Previous owners name to front end paper otherwise very clean throughout. This book received literary acclaim (ranking it with All Quiet on the Western Front) when first published in 1919, it describes in a detailed narrative the German offensive of 1918 and the return "Push" later in the year leading up to the battle of Amiens and the end of the First World War. The detail is very precise and clearly taken from the authors personal records written at the time. The narrative is provided from an Officer's perspective and as such a lot of his "concerns" are to do with getting a comfortable bed, not missing lunch, will there be wine etc, rather than the atrocious conditions that his men had to endure, in their hastily dug trenches and bolt holes. The book remains interesting and worth reading from a historical viewpoint as it highlights the attitude of the Officer Class and all that was wrong with it in the First World War, rather than the horrors of War that were written about in later works by ordinary soldiers who actually did the day to day fighting.
