Zustand: New. 2023 reprint (of original pub 1931). SB. vii+363ppPublished Price £14.99 In August 1914 on the outbreak of World War I, whilst still at the junior officer rank of captain, Charteris was appointed an Aide-de-Camp to Haig, whom he accompanied to France with the British Expeditionary Force. In September 1914 Haig iss…ued him with an order to establish an Intelligence Office in I Corps Headquarters, Haig's Command, with the aim of providing operational information on the activities of the Imperial German Army. Despite being fluent in French and German Charteris had no background or formal training in intelligence work. He remained in Haig's retinue engaged in this work when I Corps was enlarged and converted into the B.E.F.'s First Army in December 1914, and then on to the B.E.F.'s General Headquarters, when Haig was appointed Commander-in-Chief in December 1915, where Charteris was promoted by Haig to the rank of brigadier-general in 1915 at 38 years of age. Haig also awarded him the Distinguished Service Order for his work on his H.Q. Staff in 1915.Charteris was brash, untidy, and liked to start the day with a brandy and soda. He was a sort of licensed jester (known as "The Principal Boy" due to his rapid promotion) amidst Haig's staid inner circle. In Walter Reid's view he comes across as likeable and able in his own writings, including his letters to his much younger wife Noel (the "Douglas" frequently referred to in his letters is their infant son.He is cited by the Quote Investigator as the source for the saying 'Military Intelligence is a contradiction in terms', in his 1931 memoir At G.H.Q.)Haig's chaplain George S. Duncan later commented on how Charteris' "vitality and loud-mouthed exuberance" made him unpopular. Lord Derby, then Secretary of State for War, began to have doubts about Charteris in the role as the B.E.F.'s Intelligence Chief after an incident in February 1917 when he failed to censor an interview given by Haig to French journalists.Charteris was sometimes described as Haig's "evil counsellor", and has been blamed by some historians for Haig's errors, with the accusation that he had a propensity in intelligence briefings to provide assessments of the German situation that gave Haig what he wanted to hear. He produced reports of poor German morale based on interviews with prisoners, and of German manpower shortages based on statistical analysis of their paybooks, which gave a German soldier's age and year of callup. These reports were influential in Haig's decisions affecting the conduct of military campaigns, and were increasingly criticised by Major-General Macdonogh, intelligence advisor at the War Office. Haig kept him on after his inadequacies had been exposed.However, the historian John Bourne has stated that Charteris was methodical and hardworking. Herbert Lawrence, who became the B.E.F.'s Chief of Intelligence briefly in early 1918, testified to the efficiency of the organisation he inherited from Charteris when he replaced him after his dismissal. Bourne argues that although Charteris was wrong about the wider issues of German morale and manpower, he was effective at predicting enemy troop deployments, immediate plans and tactical changes. In Bourne's view, he was not Haig's "evil genius", but rather shared Haig's innate optimism and did nothing to undermine it.An official inquiry blamed intelligence failures by Charteris' Department for the near debacle at the Battle of Cambrai, where a German counter-attack had retaken almost all the British gains.By the end of 1917 Charteris was known as "the U-boat".In January 1918 Brigadier-General Edgar William Cox was recalled to France to replace Charteris. Charteris' final intelligence reports correctly predicted a German offensive in Spring 1918. Charteris was moved to the job of Deputy Director of Transportation at GHQ.âAt GHQâ also contains a letter from Charteris with the date 5 September 1914, noting that âthe story of the Angels of Mons [is] going strong through the 2nd Corpsâ. If authentic, this may be the earliest account of the rumour. However, examination of Charterisâs original letters gives evidence that these entries were falsified, leading David Clarke, among others, to suggest that Charteris was using the Angels rumour for propaganda purposes.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. 8vo; xii, (2), 407 pages; Clean and secure in original blue cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine. Former owner's name on first blank (after map endpapers) -- "M. L. Jennings / from H. H. /May 1929" - Mary L. Coleman Jennings. Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, (1861 â"…1928) was a senior officer of the British Army. Having served in South Africa and India, Haig then commanded the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) during the First World War, on the Western Front from late 1915 until the end of the war. He was commander during the Battle of the Somme, the Battle of Arras, the Third Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele), the German Spring Offensive, and the final Hundred Days Offensive. Although he had gained a favourable reputation during the immediate post-war years, with his funeral becoming a day of national mourning, Haig has, since the 1960s, become an object of criticism for his leadership during the First World War. He was nicknamed "Butcher Haig" for the two million British casualties endured under his command. On the other hand, some historians consider the Hundred Days Offensive of 1918 - the joint allied effort led by Foch that ended the war - and the British contribution to it, to be one of the greatest victories ever achieved in British military history. The AUTHOR Brigadier General John Charteris (1877â"1946), was a captain at the start of World War I, was appointed an Aide-de-Camp to Haig, whom he accompanied to France with the British Expeditionary Force (B.E.F.) in August 1914. By September 1914 Haig issued him with an order to establish an Intelligence Office in I Corps Head Quarters, Haig's Command, with the aim of providing operational information on the activities of the Imperial German Army. In December 1915 Haig was appointed Commander-in-Chief , where Charteris was of the B.E.F.'s General Head Quarters, and Charteris was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general at 38 years of age. Provenance: Mary Coleman Jennings was the wife of James Hennen Jennings (1854-1920), a mining engineer, born at Hawesville, KY. After attending private schools in London and Derbyshire, England, Jennings returned to Kentucky and set up a lumber business, but soon wanted to further his engineeering education. He graduated from the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University in 1877 with the degree C.E. Jennings then headed West and worked in gold and quicksilver mines in California for the next ten years. In 1887 he went to Venezuela for another mining job. Finally, his talents as an innovative mining engineer, took him to South Africa. During 1889-1905 he was consulting engineer of H. Eckstein, in Johannesburg, and Wemher Beit, in London. Jennings was chiefly responsible for thr fevelopment and expansions of their mines, employing the most technologically advanced methods and equipment available in the day. In the rough and tumble of South Africa, he managed to keep out of John Hays Hammond's conspiracy to overthrow Kruger's government and to earn a fortune (the equivalent of about 10 million pounds in 2014) before he returned to America in 1905.
