The author commanded a squadron in the 34th Poona Horse with the Indian Corps in France. His Regiment fought in the trenches at Ypres, managing to turn the tide of the battle. Additionally, the book contains "The Experiences of Ram Singh, Dafadar of Horse: An Echo of 1914". This narrative throws a fascinating light on the reaction of Indian officers and NCOs to alien customs and events. An unusual sidelight and perspective on the military system in the British Raj of the period.

An analysis of the 'Home Front' in the Scottish city of Perth during the Great war. It was a garrison town and home depot for the Black Watch. Visual sources are poor for 1910-1922 all photography in Perth was forbidden and every shop was searched for postcards. When found, they were systematically destroyed. Most photographs, legally taken for propoganda purposes - smiling soldiers and cheering crowds - are obviously posed. As the impact of the war can only be measured against the background of pre-war events, the framework of this study is 1910-1922.

Sir Douglas Haig was commander-in-chief of the largest army his country had ever put into the field. He has been portrayed as both an incompetent ‘butcher and bungler’ and a clear-sighted ‘architect of victory’. This new account dispels such stereotypes. A dedicated military professional, Haig nevertheless found it difficult to adjust to the unprecedented conditions of the Western Front. He bears much responsibility for British losses 1915–17 that were excessive in relation to the results achieved. After the German spring offensives of 1918, Haig played a vital role in the campaign that finally broke the German army.
