H. M. Hyndman Clemenceau, the Man and His Time

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Began to write this book in June. We were then holding our breath as we looked on, after the dis asters of Cambrai and St. Quentin, upon the British troops still fighting desperately against superior num bers and defending the Channel Ports with their backs to the wall and barely left with room to maneuver. The enemy was at the same time seriously threatening Amiens and Epernay and the possible withdrawal of the French Government from Paris was being again dis cussed. It was a trying four months on both sides Of the Channel. But England and France never despaired of the future. Both nations were determined to fight on to the last.
