TOWNSHEND, SIR CHARLES VERE FERRERS. My campaign (Eng title, My campaign in Mesopotamia). 2v *$10 McCann 940.42
20–16919
“If the first campaign in Mesopotamia is not the best-known episode of the war it is not for lack of information, and Sir Charles Townshend’s contribution is one that will appeal to the student of military affairs not only for the light it casts on the motives that moved him, but also and even more as a careful and frank study of a campaign which must ever be memorable in our history. Sir Charles Townshend took the field as commander of the Sixth division in succession to General Barrett, who retired through ill health, in April, 1915; and in the last month of the year his offensive operations had ceased and he was shut up in Kut. He had fought three battles, and his Sixth division had proved itself a splendid fighting unit.”—Ath
“General Townshend reveals himself throughout as that rarest of British products, a thoughtful, well-instructed student of scientific warfare.”
