- Summary
- [SUBTITLE]: "At peace with the world, unprepared for war, and unsuspicious of Germany’s sinister designs, Great Britain in August 1914, was suddenly called upon to uphold her guarantee. "The first act of war". "Germany’s word of honour". "A scrap of paper". "General French takes charge of the ‘Contemptible little Army’ which covered itself with undying glory". "In the face of the growing peril, Britons flocked to Kitchener’s Army and showed the enemy of what stuff our boys are made". "At the call of the Motherland came her Empire’s loyal sons". "Lloyd George bids God-speed to a famous Canadian division". "It is a far cry from the original Expeditionary Force to the enormous citizen army commanded by Field-Marshal Haig today". "Meanwhile and all the while"."
