Book Description
The heavy casualties of the battles of 1914 and 1915, the entry of Turkey into the war in 1915, and the unreliability of the French and Italian armies placed great strains on Britain’s existing forces. Using incredible ingenuity, the British were able to increase their forces ten-fold.
