The book "West Country Regiments on the Somme" by John Terraine tells the story of the British Army's regiments from the West Country, specifically those from Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset, during World War I. The book focuses on the battles fought by these regiments on the Somme, one of the bloodiest battles of the war, and how they contributed to the Allied victory. The book begins with an introduction to the regiments and their history before delving into the events of the Somme. The author describes the preparations made by the regiments before the battle, including training and equipment, and the conditions on the front lines. He also highlights the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers, many of whom were young men from rural areas who had never seen combat before. The first chapter describes the Battle of Albert, where the regiments fought against the German army. The author emphasizes the importance of the battle and how it set the stage for the rest of the war. He also highlights the role of the artillery in the battle, which proved crucial in breaking through the German defenses. In the second chapter, the author discusses the Battle of Bapaume, where the regiments faced intense fighting and heavy casualties. He notes that despite the challenges, the regiments held their ground and inflicted significant losses on the enemy. The third chapter focuses on the Battle of High Wood, where the regiments suffered heavy losses but managed to capture the wood. The author highlights the heroism of the soldiers and their determination to succeed despite the odds. The fourth chapter examines the Battle of Ancre, where the regiments played a crucial role in capturing the village.
Книга «Западные сельские полки на Сомме» Джон Террейн рассказывает историю полков британской армии из Западной страны, в частности из Девона, Корнуолла и Сомерсета, во время Первой мировой войны. Книга начинается с введения в полки и их историю, прежде чем вникнуть в события Соммы. Автор описывает приготовления, сделанные полками перед боем, включая обучение и снаряжение, и условия на передовой. Он также подчеркивает храбрость и жертвенность солдат, многие из которых были молодыми людьми из сельской местности, которые никогда ранее не видели боевых действий. Первая глава описывает битву при Альберте, где полки сражались против немецкой армии. Автор подчеркивает важность сражения и то, как оно подготовило почву для оставшейся части войны. Он также подчеркивает роль артиллерии в сражении, которое оказалось решающим в прорыве немецкой обороны. Во второй главе автор обсуждает битву при Бапоме, где полки столкнулись с интенсивными боями и тяжёлыми потерями. Он отмечает, что несмотря на вызовы, полки удержали позиции и нанесли противнику значительные потери. Третья глава посвящена битве при Хай-Вуд, где полки понесли тяжёлые потери, но сумели захватить лес. Автор подчеркивает героизм солдат и их решимость добиться успеха, несмотря на разногласия. Четвёртая глава рассматривает битву при Анкре, где полки сыграли важнейшую роль в захвате деревни.
Il libro «Gli scaffali rurali occidentali sulla Somma» di John Terrain racconta la storia degli scaffali dell'esercito britannico provenienti dal paese occidentale, in particolare da Devon, Cornovaglia e Somerset, durante la prima guerra mondiale. Il libro inizia con l'introduzione negli scaffali e la loro storia prima di entrare negli eventi di Somma. L'autore descrive le preparazioni fatte dagli scaffali prima del combattimento, tra cui l'addestramento e l'attrezzatura, e le condizioni in prima linea. Sottolinea anche il coraggio e il sacrificio dei soldati, molti dei quali giovani delle zone rurali, che non avevano mai visto combattere. Il primo capitolo descrive la battaglia di Alberta, dove gli scaffali combattevano contro l'esercito tedesco. L'autore sottolinea l'importanza della battaglia e il modo in cui ha preparato il terreno per il resto della guerra. Sottolinea anche il ruolo dell'artiglieria nella battaglia che si è rivelata decisiva nella svolta della difesa tedesca. Nel secondo capitolo, l'autore parla della battaglia di Batom, dove gli scaffali hanno affrontato intensi combattimenti e pesanti perdite. Egli afferma che nonostante le chiamate, gli scaffali hanno mantenuto la posizione e causato notevoli perdite all'avversario. Il terzo capitolo è dedicato alla battaglia di High Wood, dove gli scaffali hanno subito pesanti perdite, ma sono riusciti a conquistare la foresta. L'autore sottolinea l'eroismo dei soldati e la loro determinazione ad avere successo nonostante le divergenze. Il quarto capitolo affronta la battaglia di Ankra, dove gli scaffali hanno avuto un ruolo fondamentale nella conquista del villaggio.
