The Lost Brigade

Much of what has been written about World War 1 covers the citizen soldiers and their experiences in the trenches. The "Lost Brigade" is concerned with the opening stage of the war when Britain's small professional army, trained for small-scale imperial battles, found itself thrust into an industrialised war. This book follows the experiences of the men and officers of the 28th Artillery Brigade, the British Expeditionary Force of which they were a part, and how the War was misrepresented to the British public.
