How I Won the War (2012)
“F.-M. SIR WILLIAM SLIM Defeat Into Victory Gort spoke much of the war in 1914–18 in which he was very well read. He criticized the handling of the British troops in 1914 at Le Cateau, on the Marne, and at the crossing of the Aisne…. On our way we crossed the Vimy Ridge. Gort got us out of our cars when we reached it. He made Hore-Belisha climb a very muddy bank and kept him shivering in the howling gale, while he explained the battle fought there in the 1914–18 war…. We. stopped again, a few ...miles further on, to hear Pownall describe an attack on Auber’s Ridge … twenty-odd years before … MAJ. GEN. SIR JOHN KENNEDY The Business of War THE ACCENT AROUND ME changed from Enoch and Eli to best “cut glass.” My new comrades seemed all aristocrats, juvenile stockbrokers, dons, undergraduates, and sons of tycoons. Plums grew in every throat and I took particular care to talk as far back in the mouth as possible and with every aspirate at my command.
