A FEW SELECTED PRESS OPINIONS.
The Times:—"There have been many books written about the war, but not one has told of actual fighting a tithe of what Frederic Coleman tells us in 'From Mons to Ypres with French.' ... It is a book which will surely live, and ought to be read."
Daily Telegraph (First Notice):—"Mr. Coleman's Book, intensely interesting from cover to cover, is much more than the vivid diary of a shrewd observer. It is a detailed history of the military operations which governed the earlier and opening phases of the great War in the West. The volume might well be the work of a General Headquarters Staff Officer, permitted by some revolutionised War Office to speak his mind."
Punch:—"Driving as he did a motor-car for the British Headquarters, and in particular General de Lisle, he saw as much fighting as any man need wish for. Even those who have overloaded their shelves with books about the war must find a place for 'From Mons to Ypres with French.'"
The Sphere:—"A most absorbing narrative of war experiences. Again and again Mr. Coleman pours out his admiration for the British Army and expresses his pride at being able to serve with them.... The book is a perfectly unpretentious record of the author's personal services and adventures, and contains much careful description of military events and at times sound criticism."
Dally Chronicle:—"The book is so full of detail, so careful in explaining military events, that while it will be read with interest now, it should not be overlooked when the time comes for writing an authoritative history of the British campaign in Flanders and France."
Morning Post:—"'From Mons to Ypres' is written throughout in language without literary frills of any kind, and is the liveliest chronicle which has yet been published of our glorious soldiers.... The book is full of authentic humour and high spirits, and everybody should read it."
