Walter Bloem was a Captain in the German 12th Grenadier Regiment. His narrative gives a superb insight into the outbreak of war and his regiment's mobilisation, followed by the advance through Belgium and France, including the author's participation at the battles of Mons, Le Cateau, the Marne and the Aisne. His account of what it was like to face Britain's 'Old Contemptibles' at Mons is particularly valuable, and was used in the British Official History.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 02, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52457717170483,"sku":"9781783317523","price":30.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TGhXcjJ5aHE4UXl0czd4OTB1cnM5Zz09_d873f271-07dc-4258-9366-d47886c5622f.webp?v=1759172110","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-advance-from-mons-1914-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
