104 IX.Armeekorps (IX Army Corps) the IX Army Corps Was Formed in 1935 As a Corps and Corps-Area Head- Quarters 104 IX.Armeekorps (IX Army Corps) The IX Army Corps was formed in 1935 as a corps and corps-area head- quarters. It fought in the West in 194-0, and subsequently in the central sector of the eastern front. After crossing the Bug River at the start of the invasion, it reached a point just west of Moscow in December 1941o Forced back to Gzhatsk early in 1942, the corps was engaged in positional warfare until, in early 1943, it withdrew to the "Buffel" positions in the Vyazma-Yelnya areas. In the summer of 1943, the corps withdrew to the "Panther" positions east of Gorki. It was forced to retreat early in 1944 to the Vitebsk-Gorodok-Polotsk areas, ultimately withdrawing via Lithuania to East Prussia late in 1944, and then to Germany proper.

My thanks go particularly to my supervisor, Dr John Bourne, for his direction, support, encouragement and unfailingly wise counsel. I would also thank Professor Peter Simkins who supervised my MA dissertation and then suggested the Battle of the Sambre as a subject ripe for further study. He then kindly supplied data on the performance of divisions in the Hundred Days and permitted me to use it in this work. Thanks must also go to the staffs of the National Archive, the Imperial War Museum and the Bundesarchiv – Militärarchiv in Freiburg.

  • CHAPTER XXI Two Days After the Capture of Montbrehain British
    CHAPTER XXI THE WAR ENDS Two days after the capture of Montbrehain British soldiers in France buying the Paris edition of the Daily Mail learnt that the German Government had asked for an armistice. Actually this had been asked for on the night of October 3rd as a result of the urgent anxieties set up by Foch’s combined offensive in the mind of Ludendorff, to whose reactions this narrative must now turn. It has been stated here that the Franco-American offensive on July 18th was the turning point of the war. Ludendorff could, or would, not see it; he still hoped to “discover a strategical remedy.” While he was engaged in this gambler’s speculation “the blow of the 8th of August fell on me.”l Nearly every German regimental history repeats his dictum : “August 8th was the black day of the German army in the history of this war.” Actually it was the day whose events convinced him that Germany was beaten. After admitting that “the morale of the German army was no longer what it had been,” and blaming part of the troops-but not the policy that for five months had set them at tasks beyond their strength-Ludendorff himself says : The 8th of August put the decline of that fighting power beyond all doubt, and in such a condition as regards reserves I had no hope of finding a strategic expedient whereby to turn the situation to our advantage. He decided that “the war must be ended,” and arranged the famous conferences with the Chancellor (von Hertling) and Foreign Minister (von Hintze) and the Kaiser, at Spa on August 13th and 14th.~It was agreed that peace negotiations must be initiated ; but the generalsespecially Hindenburg- could not bring themselves to paint the military situation in colours that would force immediate action, and the statesmen lThe quotations are from My War Memories, p.

THE BATTLE OF THE MARNE BY GEORGE HERBERT PERRIS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF "THE DAILY CHRONICLE" WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, 1914-18 WITH TWELVE MAPS JOHN W. LUCE & CO. BOSTON MCMXX PREFACE HE great war has entered into history. The restraints, direct and indirect, which it imposed being gone with it, we return to sounder tests of what should be public knowledge—uncomfortable truths may be told, secret places explored. At the same time, the first squall of controversy in France over the opening of the land campaign in the West has subsided; this lull is the student's opportunity. No complete history of the events culminating in the victory of the Marne is yet possible, or soon to be expected. On the German side, evidence is scanty and of low value ; on that of the Allies, there is yet a preliminary work of sifting and measuring to undertake ere definitive judgments can be set down.

This conflict has been categorized as a "police action", not a war, therefore little has been published by the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army or by individuals. However, the material available to our historian is believed to be of such importance as to justify its publication in this volume of our official history. While Washington National Guard units did not actually serve in Korea during this "police action", our Air National Guard and certain artillery units were inducted into service to replace like regular air and army units withdrawn for service in Korea. However, many Washington men participated in the action as did the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions, both of which had been stationed at Fort Lewis and other Washington military installations.

  • The March on Paris and the Battle of the Marne, 1914
    THE MARCH ON PARIS AND THE BATTLE OF THE MARNE, 1914 Kiililc-K'imit, Konigsberg, filwL ALEXANDER VON KLUCK THE MARCH ON PARIS AND THE BATTLE OF THE MARNE 1914 BY ALEXANDER VON KLUCK WITH PORTRAIT AND MAPS AND rOTES BY THE HISTORICAL SECTION (MILITARY BRANCH) OF THE COMMITTEE OF IMPERIAL DEFENCE LONDON EDWARD ARNOLD 1920 [All rights restrved] D AUTHOR'S PREFACE THE following review of events was completed on the 6th February, 1918. The books which have since been published on the period dealt with, such as Major Bircher's valuable contribution on the Battle of the Marne, that of Field-Marshal French (which appeared " in the summer of 1919), and General Maurice's Forty Days in 1914," have not been taken into account. The temptation to enter into the controversies raised by General Baumgarten-Crusius's work has been avoided, although it undoubtedly contains facts of great import- ance; so also with the books of Field-Marshal von Billow and General von Hausen. Only opinions formed at the time are recorded; those arrived at later have been omitted. These limitations seem most necessary in order that the appreciation of the situation as it appeared to the headquarters of the First Army in 1914 may be recorded, unaffected by other influences. With this in view, the more important orders and documents have been re- produced verbatim in the text. The point of view of the Army Commander as regards the dangers of a crossing of the Marne at the beginning of September, 1914, is set forth in the third part of this review.

  • The Operational Role of British Corps Command on the Western Front, 1914-18
    The Operational Role of British Corps Command on the Western Front, 1914-18 Andrew Simpson University College, London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Abstract British corps command having been neglected in the literature, this thesis sets out to assess what British corps did, and how they did it, on the Western Front during the Great War. It attempts to avoid anecdotal sources as much as possible, drawing its evidence instead as much as possible from contemporary official documents. It is a central argument here that Field Service Regulations, Part 1 (1909), was found by commanders in the BEF to be applicable throughout the war, because it was designed to be as flexible as possible, its broad principles being supplemented by training and manuals. Corps began the war in a minor role, as an extra level of command to help the C-in-C control the divisions of the BEF. With the growth in numbers and importance of artilleiy in 1915, divisions could not cope with the quantity of artilleiy allotted theni, and by early 1916, the corps BGRA became the corps artilleiy commander (GOCRA). In addition to its crucial role in artillery control, corps was important as the highest level of operational command, discussing attack plans with Armies and divisions and being responsible for putting Army schemes into practice. Though corps tended to be prescnptive towards divisions in 1916, and Armies towards corps, a more hands-off style of command was generally practised in 1917, within the framework of FSR and the pamphlet SS13S (and others - to be used with FSR).
