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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Bloem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783317809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783317806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Naval \u0026amp; Military Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Walter Bloem","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43943774355711,"sku":"9781783317806","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_81db3ea1-b126-416e-b323-24d894d0386b.jpg?v=1681499989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-advance-from-mons-1914-walter-bloem-9781783317806","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
