THE GREAT WAR

Military art of the first world war, from the Battle of the Somme, Neuve Chappel, le Cateau, Gheluvelt published by Cranston military fine art prints

To the Green Fields Beyond, Cambrai, France, 20th November 1917 by David Pentland.

At 0620 hours covered by a brief barrage from 1000 guns, Brigadier General Elles in a MkIV called Hilda led his 476 tanks against the impregnable German Hindenburg line at Cambrai. Supported by 6 infantry divisions and 4 Royal Flying Corps squadrons flying ground attack missions, the attack had broken through 3 trench lines and penetrated 5 miles on a 6 mile front by lunchtime. Although these gains were not exploited and later retaken by a German counter offensive, Cambrai showed the full potential of the tank on the battlefield.

Their temporary halt was interrupted during the early morning cavalry patrol warning of the imminent arrival of a large German force of cavalry, infantry and artillery. almost immediately German shells began bursting amongst the battery, accompanied by a rifle and machine gun fire. 3 guns were knocked out before they could be brought into action and two more were disabled soon afterwards, while the British gunners sustained heavy casualties. the remaining no. 6 gun with a scratch crew managed to maintain a steady fire for some two hours inflicting heavy casualties on the Germans until reinforcements arrived, driving off the surviving German unties. Three Victoria crosses (one posthumously) and two French medaille militaire were awarded and two NCO's were commissioned after the action.

First Ypres 1914

The Graveyard of the Old Contemptibles

In the Autumn of 1914 the professional BEF fought its last battle, aided by French troops under Foch, against a heavily reinforced German drive for the Channel ports. Although the German's failed to break through, the death knell had rung for the 'Old Contemptibles' as they were virtually wiped out in this brave defence. The names of the towns of La Brassée, Armentières, Messines and Ypres first became known in this campaign and their echoes would be heard for the next four years.

The Final German Offensive

The entry of the United States into World War 1 in April 1917 spelt disaster for Imperial Germany. The massive superiority in men and materials which the Americans could provide meant that if Germany had any chance of winning the war she must do so quickly. Randal Gray describes how, using special 'Stormtrooper' units and high-mobility tactics, the Germans shattered the front line broke into open country and came within a hair's breadth of winning the war.

The BEF's Tactical Triumph

The first major clash of the Great War, Mons came as a nasty shock to the Imperial German Army. Assured by their command that they would sweep the French and their British allies in  the BEF - 'that contemptible little army', into the sea in a matter of weeks; they were stopped in their tracks at Mons by a numerically inferior British force. Eventually forced to fall back by overwhelming German numbers, the British carried out a masterful fighting retreat across Belgium and northern France.

The Last Great Cavalry Victory

In a spectacular campaign General Allenby's Egyptian Expeditionary Force achieved breakthrough in Palestine that commanders on the Western Front had only dreamed of. Supported by Lawrence and his Arab irregulars, the Desert Mounted Corps swept across the Turkish rear destroying three armies in the process. Turkey's war was over and the days of the tottering Ottoman Empire were numbered. This was a British 'Blitzkrieg' with a speed of advance that stunned the world twenty years before Germany's Panzers rolled across Europe.

Arctic Hunters by Richard Taylor. (B)

Arctic Hunters by Richard Taylor. (B)   Occupied by the Germans, by 1942 Norway had become vital to Hitlers war in the East.  With the Russians threatening to over-run Finland and attack Norway, the pilots of JG5 were tasked to support German ground forces, and to escort the incessant Luftwaffe attacks on Arctic Convoys from Britain to the vital Russian ports of Murmansk and Archangel.  With such unpredictably harsh weather it was a life or death battle fought under extreme conditions.  For the pilots of JG5 - Eismeer, the Polar Sea Group, the sun never set during the long summer months, and due to constant fog and storms it was often impossible for pilots to return to base, often diverting to other airstrips.  But their darkest moment came in December 1944 when their Kommodore, Heinrich Ehrler, one of the Luftwaffes most brilliant fighter leaders, was made a scapegoat following the sinking of the German battleship Tirpitz in a Norwegian fjord.  Despite holding the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and nominated for the Swords, he was convicted.  High in the Arctic Circle a bitter war of attrition was fought in freezing, unforgiving conditions, the desperate conflict played out against a majestic, awe-inspiring backdrop of beautiful ice-clad mountains. Richard Taylors spectacular painting portrays the Me109s of 6./JG5 led by Oberleutnant Heinrich Ehrler, while based at Petsamo in Finland, as they soar high above the towering peaks of ice capped mountains glistening in the cold polar air, March 1943. Their dawn patrol keeps constant vigil along the glacial fjords of the Norways far-northern coastline, as the majestic vista gives the battle-hardened Me109 pilots a brief moment of tranquility far removed from the grim and bitter battles being fought below.

British Rail Journeys.  Blaenau Ffestiniog

British Rail Journeys.  Blaenau Ffestiniog   The Ffestiniog Railway, starting on the glorious Welsh Coastline at Pothmadog, protected by the imposing castles of Harlech and Criccieth, is a memorable journey through the Snowdonia National Park.  From Harbour Station at Porthmadog, the train climbs through the sleepy pastures and luscious forest, skirting lakes and waterfalls.  clinging to and tunneling through the sides of mountains, the track takes in horseshoe bends which include a complete spiral. This area is so remote that the train is occasionally required to stop at isolated cottages whose inhabitants depend entirely upon the railway.  The journey covers the 13.5 miles from Portmadog, rising to over 700 feet above sea level at Bleanau Ffestiniog.

Second Lieutenant Henderson Flying down into the British lines after his left leg had been severed by a shell.

Second Lieutenant Henderson Flying down into the British lines after his left leg had been severed by a shell.   While making a photographic reconnaissance over the enemys lines, the aeroplane in which Second Lieutenant (temporary Lieutenant) Malcolm Henderson, of the 4th (Ross Highland) Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders (Rosshire Buffs, the Duke of Albanys) Territorial Force, and Royal Flying Corps, was flying, was struck by a shell from a German anti aircraft gun.  Passing through the nacelle of the machine, the shell took off Lieutenant Hendersons left leg just below the knee.  In spite of this serious injury he succeeded in planing down from a height of 7,000 feet and in safely landing 3,000 yards behind the British lines.  His cool and courageous action, for which he was awarded the D.S.O. saved the life of the observer.
