Ebook The Adventures of Dunsterforce

Matthews of the fighting round Resht, Colonel Keyworth of the Baku fighting, and Colonel Stokes of Staff work in a revolutionary army. In recounting the various episodes, it is not possible always to give full recognition to those officers who contributed on each occasion to the success of certain enterprises or to whose ingenuity and suggestions certain plans were due. Such recognition is found in the official records, and the reader will understand that when a General is writing an account of the achievements of a force under his command, it is not possible for him entirely to eliminate the first person and say I and my Staff, or to add in each case the name of any officer who may have furnished the brilliant idea.
