Excerpt from The Doings of the Fifteenth Infantry Brigade: August 1914 to March 1915
The following pages - not in the first instance intended for publication - contain an expanded version of the very scrappy Diary which I kept in France from day to day.
The version was intended for private home consumption only, and has necessarily had to be pruned of certain personal matters before being allowed to make its bow to the public. I have purposely refrained from adding to it in the light of subsequent events.
I trust that the reader will consequently bear in mind the essentially individual and impressionist aspects of this little work, and will not expect to find either rigidly historical, professional, or critical matter therein.
