The British Expeditionary Force fought a mesmerizing campaign, outnumbered and outflanked but courageous and skillful, holding the line against impossible odds, sacrificing themselves to stop the last great German offensive of 1914. A remarkable story of high hopes and crushing disappointment, the campaign contains moments of sheer horror and nerve-shattering excitement; pathos and comic relief; occasional cowardice and much selfless courage--all culminating in the climax of the First Battle of Ypres 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$zWestern Front 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$zFrance 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vPersonal narratives, British 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 676 $a940.4/21 700 $aHart$b Peter$f1955-$0103141 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459837703321 996 $aFire and movement$92066507 997 $aUNINA
