The history of the war

THE Fortnightly Review has been publishing a historical narrative of the war.



THE Fortnightly Review has been publishing a historical narrative of the war. The first article apointed out how Sir John French was not being given by the French an adequate measure of support, e.g. General Sorde's evasive and disappointing replies to the Field Marshal's earnest request for co-operation before the British retreat from Mons. The article in the November issue "continues the narrative" up to the morning of the 18th October, and "after recording the salient facts of the situation adds some comments of a retrospective, explanatory and suggestive rather than critical nature." The writer finds it convenient to follow in chronological sequence the movements of the troops so far as it is possible to narrate them by the light of communiques issued twice a day in Paris from the French War Ministry, with the assistance of the wireless messages which reach London every day from Berlin."
