Brig.-General Maxwell—as he was when killed in actin.in September 1917—won the Victoria Cross in the African War, and officers of his regiment and brigade stated that he qualified for that greatest of all honours more than once in the Great War. His extraordinary personal bravery was matched by his chivalrous winning personality. “He was a King among men loved by everyone,” wrote his orderly to Mrs Maxwell after his death.

He was one of the comparatively rare men loved war, thinking what a great and glorious life it would be “if one had no ties and love to make one look behind, instead of in front.”“- Sir Cyril Falls.

From the Somme to Victory

Pages : 487
Book Description
Peter Simkins has established a reputation over the last forty years as one of the most original and stimulating historians of the First World War. He has made a major contribution to the debate about the performance of the British Army on the Western Front. This collection of his most perceptive and challenging essays, which concentrates on British operations in France between 1916 and 1918, shows that this reputation is richly deserved. He focuses on key aspects of the army's performance in battle, from the first day of the Somme to the Hundred Days, and gives a fascinating insight into the developing theory and practice of the army as it struggled to find a way to break through the German line. His rigorous analysis undermines some of the common assumptions - and the myths - that still cling to the history of these British battles.

Leadership in the Trenches
Author: G. Sheffield
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230596983
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Why, despite the appalling conditions in the trenches of the Western Front, was the British army almost untouched by major mutiny during the First World War? Drawing upon an extensive range of sources, including much previously unpublished archival material, G. D. Sheffield seeks to answer this question by examining a crucial but previously neglected factor in the maintenance of the British army's morale in the First World War: the relationship between the regimental officer and the ordinary soldier.
