Summary "The British Campaign in France and Flanders, 1916" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume provides a detailed narrative of the extensive military engagements involving British forces during the pivotal year of 1916, particularly focusing on the catastrophic Battle of the Somme. Given the author's background as a writer and historian, the text likely blends firsthand accounts, strategic analyses, and broader historical context about World War I's Western Front. At the start of this volume, the author discusses the situation leading up to 1916, touching on the challenges faced by the Allies during the previous years of the war. He highlights the period's anticipation for a renewed offensive against German forces, setting the stage for the Battle of the Somme, which would become notorious for its unprecedented scale of carnage and complexity. Conan Doyle outlines various military operations, artillery preparations, and the morale of the troops, emphasizing the dire context into which British forces were entering as they gathered for one of the war’s most consequential battles.
