Doesn't begin to answer the points I made Keith
You are carefully selecting something that deals with one general (who was widely referred to as 'The Butcher of the Somme', and have once again chosen to quote a historian who has been an employee of the British army to back up one singly aspect of the British leasership
In the past, you have ignored a list of hundreds of historians who have all held differing opinions on the war and continue to claim a consensus
As you don't read (despite your claims of "a lifelong interest") you have no knowledge of the subject, and you continue to refer to the soldiers ow accounts as "lies"
You are a flag-wagging clown
