Britain Has Big Army in France Front 100 Miles Wide
Frederick Palmer reports from British Headquarters in France on a massive new British force in the Somme and Belgium region. Khaki haunts villages from Ypres to Loos as thousands of new corps and divisions replace veterans and officers rise rapidly. The front holds a dense German and Allied presence with constant trench fighting and raids as both sides adapt to mud and winter constraints. Doctors in the field aid civilians, with British medical officers serving from the front lines to base hospitals and villagers, earning affection as “Papa Anglais” while drought of pay ends with gifts to favored surgeons. In Ohio, a teenage divorce unfolds as Rolland Chain, fourteen, ends her marriage of under a year.
