The british forces

Le Maréchal FRENCH commandait en Chef l'Armée Britannique au début de la Guerre. Comme on le sait, les allemands ont cherché en 1914 à profiter de leur supériorité numérique et de l'écrasante puissance de leur armement, pour mettre hors de cause les Armées Alliées d'Occident, par une manoeuvre enveloppante, aussi rapide que possible.Après avoir cherché en vain la décision à la MARNE, puis à l'AISNE et à la SOMME, ils la poursuivent successivement à ARRAS, sur l'YSER et à YPRES....

Who wants to be a raw recruit for life, all thumbs and muddle-mindedness? Well, that is what a boy or girl is bound to be when he or she grows up without knowing what the Royal Navy of our Motherland has done to give the British Empire birth, life, and growth, and all the freedom of the sea. The Navy is not the whole of British sea-power; for the Merchant Service is the other half. Nor is the Navy the only fighting force on which our liberty depends; for we depend upon the United Service of sea and land and air. Moreover, all our fighting...

This book is intended as a companion volume to Contemporary British Literature; but the differences between conditions in America and in England have made it necessary to alter somewhat the original plan. In America today we have a few excellent writers who challenge comparison with the best of present-day England. We have many more who have been widely successful in the business of making novels, poems, plays, which cannot rank as literature at all.

Looked at in this way the industrial process shows two well−marked general characteristics: (a) the running maintenance of interstitial adjustments between the several sub−processes or branches of industry, wherever in their working they touch one another in the sequence of industrial elaboration; and (b) an unremitting requirement of quantitative precision, accuracy in point of time and sequence, in the proper inclusion and exclusion of forces affecting the outcome, in the magnitude of the various physical characteristics (weight, size, density, hardness, tensile strength, elasticity,...

During the period of decolonization in Asia and Africa, the United Kingdom faced more insurgent activity than any other Western power. British government officials and military forces proved proficient at defeating or controlling these rebellions. However, these uprisings were much less complex than the modern jihadist insurgency.

This book began its evolution in 1999 when the British Antarctic Survey, where I worked at the time, began a new research programme on the management of marine ecosystems. This programme concentrated upon the krill-based ecosystem at SouthGeorgia which has been the subject of almost continuous study since the Discovery Expeditions in the 1920s. Latterly, international efforts to understand the dynamics of this ecosystem and the wider Southern Ocean have been coordinated by the Commission for the Conservation of AntarcticMarine Living Resources (CCAMLR)....

AFTER the successful publication of my book The Destruction of Dresden on April 1, 1963 -- which was accompanied by a serialisation in the then fledgling Sunday Telegraph newspaper -- I learned that the British Air Ministry had subjected my two brothers, both Royal Air Force officers, to critical comment and interview.To ease their position, I decided to write a book about one of RAF Bomber Command’s most successful operations, the August 1943 strike against Hitler’s secret rocket plant at Peenemünde, on the Baltic coast. Of the legitimacy of this particular attack there could...

Suppose the British increase demand for U.S. products. British importers buy the U.S. products to sell in England. They buy dollars with pounds, so they can pay U.S. firms in dollars. The demand for dollars increases, and forces up the £ / $ exchange rate, which makes U.S. products more expensive in England.

This Part of BS 5080 has been prepared under the direction of the Civil Engineering and Building Structures Standards Committee and describes a method for conducting tests under shear forces on structural fixings installed in concrete or masonry materials used in building and civil engineering construction. A structural fixing joins, supports or retains components, and may be defined as one that has been designed to resist some form of loading, since its failure will have structural significance....
