Does she address why the policy of sending waves of men into enemy fire wasn't "back to the drawing board" after the first tragic failure? Does she say why the only strategic change was to use more stretcher bearers and more admin staff to deal with the telegrams?
Sheffield does. And Taylor. Clark refers to it for that matter.
People who don't need historians for a ready made view may also take a view, given that happened.
Perhaps they may assess it in light of an absurd claim that the men were well led?
