Discipline

Trouble with undisciplined Australians An excellent site by Rob Ruggenberg. Haig was convinced that a great deal of the problems were caused by General Birdwood's relaxed disciplinary methods. Sir William Birdwood was one of the very few senior British officers who possessed the 'touch' to command Australians, the perception necessary to extract their qualities.

Be prepared to spend a few hours there, Very worthwhile. John Woods 4th Feb.2005

That time must be coming soon: the Great War took place in the last century, and almost all of those who experienced its horrors first hand in are now dead. One in five of those who fought died during the war itself. The rest have gradually followed their comrades, until now there can't be more than a tiny number of very old men who experienced the horrors of the trenches.The exploration of the world at war is the theme of this site.
