Excerpt from The Fighting Retreat to Paris
By the middle of the third week of the war, the British Expeditionary Force - three army corps and a cavalry division - had been mobilised and sent across the Channel to France. Sir John French"s force was the largest army that England had ever sent into the field at the outset of a campaign. Its mobilisation, concentration, and transport across the narrow seas had been carried out with silent efficiency. England waited confidently and patiently for the tidings of its entry into the battle line.
