PHANTOM BRIGADE OR THE CONTEMPTIBLE ADVENTURERS

An important account of another rank’s soldier during the early days of the British Expeditionary Force. Only covering the opening month of the Great War, it is a well-written and appealing account of the adventures of an ‘Old Contemptible’ during that turbulent August in 1914. It is based entirely on actual experience and covers the period from 4th August 1914 to 3rd September 1914.
