Summary: "The Grenadier Guards in the Great War of 1914-1918, Vol. 1 of 3" by Lieut.-Colonel The Right Hon. Sir Frederick Ponsonby is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the experiences of the Grenadier Guards during World War I, specifically focusing on their campaigns from the outbreak of the war through various significant battles. It likely serves as both a tribute to the bravery of the soldiers and a comprehensive documentation of the events they faced. The opening of the narrative sets the stage by outlining the political and military situation leading up to the war, discussing the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and its unforeseen consequences that led to the mobilization of the British Army. It emphasizes how underprepared Britain was at the time and depicts the rapid mobilization of the 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards as they received orders for active service. Key initial chapters outline their experiences and movements as they arrive in France, prepare to engage with German forces, and begin their participation in early battles, all under the backdrop of a rapidly escalating conflict.
