Haig's officers we can see why generals were so often blamed for the high casualtyfigures in the war. The man we will investigate is Brigadiergeneral HC Rees
http://learningcurve.pro.gov.uk/greatwar/rees/main.htm

Extractions: A German commander once described the Allied soldiers as "lions led by donkeys". He admired the great bravery of ordinary soldiers who went into battle but he felt that the generals who led the army were fools. Since the war, historians have often agreed with this view. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, who was the Commander in Chief of the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) from 1915 to 1918, has even been called a "butcher" for allowing such high casualties on the Western Front . He told politicians that the only way to win the war was to "wear the enemy down". The photograph shows the Allied Senior Commanders meeting on 16 August 1916 at a grand French chateau called Beauquesne. In the week when this photograph was taken, almost 30,000 British casualties were reported from the Somme battlefield under ten miles away. This is a note from Sir Douglas Haig to newspaper editors. He says that they must prepare people in Britain to accept huge casualty lists if they want to see Germany defeated. The final sentence sums up his attitude. Some historians say he was a "butcher" for allowing so many to die. Others say he had little choice because no one knew how to overcome artillery and machine guns. They say that any other tactics would have lost the war. By studying one of Haig's officers we can see why generals were so often blamed for the high casualty figures in the war. The man we will investigate is Brigadier-General HC Rees. One historian called him "blind to problems". The historian said Rees was just like other senior officers because he:

A Civil war Resource from the VMI Archives war in the Shenandoah Valley, Summer1864 general David Hunter and the Burning of the Virginia Military Institute
http://www.vmi.edu/archives/Civil_War/Hunter.html

Extractions: F or four days in June 1864, Union troops commanded by General David Hunter occupied the small Shenandoah Valley town of Lexington, the home of the Virginia Military Institute. The federal forces, about 18,000 strong, entered the town on the afternoon of June 11. Athough their arrival had been briefly delayed by the resistance of a small cavalry force led by General John McCausland , a VMI graduate and former faculty member, the Confederate troops were greatly outnumbered and were soon forced to retreat. The VMI Corps of Cadets, having only recently returned to VMI after their participation in the Battle of New Market on May 15 , were also ordered to retreat; they camped near the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains, about two miles from Balcony Falls, on the night of the 11th. There were no civilian or military casualties as a result of this occupation. However, VMI was both the site of a state arsenal and a military training school, and the Institute was considered to be a legitimate military target. On June 12, Hunter ordered the burning of VMI.

Extractions: The Britan's Bravest charge the Kopjes [F.S.282.279] Sir Wilfred Laurier was Canada's Prime Minister; Queen Victoria still ruled over Britain and her Empire. Joseph Chamberlain was Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs in the Cabinet of Lord Salisbury. Chamberlain encouraged support from the colonies for the British position in Sou th Africa, not so much for the manpower but rather for the appearance of colonial solidarity and to convince the European powers of the legitimacy of Britain's war with the Boers. "By offering soldiers spontaneously and enthusiastically, the colonies would also demonstrate to a skeptical and hostile Europe the British Empire's reserve strength." On October 3, 1899 the Colonial Office requested that Canada provide a contingent of four units of 250 men each. The units were to be ready to sail for South Africa by October 31st. Authorization to commence recruitment was issued to the Military Districts by October 14, and by October 30, the various recruiting stations across the country were successful. In fact, in many cases the recruitment stations had to turn away volunteers. The recruits were assembled at Quebec, 1,110 volunteers, including four nurses, four reporters, and twenty-three surplus officers. They were all crowded aboard the troop transport, SS Sardinian. The official designation of the contingent was 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel William Otter.

Extractions: From "Our War: What We Did in Vietnam and What It Did To Us" by David Harris, pp. 15-16. (New York: Times Books, Random House, 1996) James Gibson is a left-of-center scholar who noticed a curious lack of interest in addressing the failure of U.S. policy in Vietnam during the years following the war. Pundits were quick to use Vietnam as a point of departure for discussions of other topics, but they carefully avoided discussing the war itself. Liberals felt that Vietnam was a mistake, conservatives felt that we lost due to self-imposed restraints, and no one examined the evidence. Gibson's loose thesis is that the U.S. fought the war as an affair of statistics and technology, and made the mistake of assuming that the enemy was fighting the same war. The assumption was that the enemy would have to acknowledge our superior firepower and our higher body counts, and then they would surrender. For Washington, the war was a logistical exercise in production: when certain quotas were met, then certain boundaries were redrawn to reflect newly-secured areas on the map. But when reports from the field were skewed to reflect these priorities, it only served to increase our bureaucratic isolation. Ultimately the managers in Washington were far removed from the realities in Vietnam, and had become the dupes of their own definitions. Halberstam, David. The Best and the Brightest.

http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Barracks/2911/b/gulf01.html

Extractions: Paperback $14.40 (1996) This inside view of the battle between high U.S. command officers in the conflict with Iraq is a fascinating and sustained analysis of the friction that takes place in real warfare. Writer Gordon teams with retired Marine General Bernard Trainor to record the struggles of the generals of the combined services in their endeavour to plan and execute the massive 500,000-troop movement that achieved the short and stunning victory over Iraqi forces. An important question is posed: Why didn't the Generals press on to dismantle the Republican Guard of Saddam Hussein , and what were the consequences of their decision against such an act? The Air Force strategy called for constant precision bombing in the heart of Baghdad. Over 30 days of bombing weakened but did not finish off the enemy. The land attack, whose success was clearly foreshadowed, was concluded too soon and allowed Hussein to keep the Republican Guard intact. The authors believe that the cautious philosophy of General Colin Powell and the eagerness of General Norman Schwarzkopf to get out with an Army victory, combined with the decision of President Bush and his advisers, led to the unfortunate staying power of Saddam Hussein. The final conclusion is undeniable the gate had not been closed in Iraq, and this book explains why.

Extractions: Boer War 11 October 1899 to 31 May 1902 The Boers initially had a major advantage with some 50,000 mounted infantry, well equipped and better gunned than the 14,700 regular troops that Britain had at that time in South Africa. In September 1899 some 10,000 men were moved from India and somewhat later some 47,000 men from the UK. These are covered elsewhere - the lists published in the papers show those moved from India to South Africa, the reservists moved from the UK and the volunteers after the December debacles . There are numerous books on the Boer War - Two contrasting ones are R.Ensor England 1870-1914 in Oxford History of England 1936 (ISBN 0-19821705-6) and
