520    ‘The enemy has got to be fought everywhere and 
       hard...Everything is going very well indeed and no one 
       minds the losses as long as we are moving.’The never
       -before-published papers of General Sir Thomas D&
       rsquo;Oyly Snow provide a remarkable insight into the 
       mindset of the Great War commanders. Despite being 
       severely injured during the first Battle of the Marne &
       ndash; when his horse fell and rolled over him, cracking 
       his pelvis – Snow served at some of the most 
       important battles of the Western Front. His memoirs 
       include the battle of Loos, the second battle of Ypres, 
       the battles of Arras and Cambrai, the retreat from Mons 
       and was responsible for the diversionary attack on 
       Gommecourt on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Somme.This
       volume is comprised of vivid extracts from contemporary 
       notes that only an eyewitness can offer coupled with frank
       postwar reflections that show the wisdom of hindsight and 
       perspective, which brings an open awareness of military 
       folly.D’Oyly Snow died in London, aged 82, on 30 
       August 1940. This first edition of his letters and memoirs
       – published exactly 70 years after his death –
       has been introduced by his great grandson, the broadcaster
       and author Dan Snow.  EPUB3: Reflowable [Elib]
