To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We never attained as much as the objectives defined by Sir Douglas Haig. Our losses were enor- mous, though the Germans may have lost more. In March 1917 the Germans retreated to the Hinden- burg line, and during that year, with fluctuations of success and failure, we gained considerable ground near Vimy Ridge, on the Aisne, and at Passchen- dale. But our gain of territory had meant depleted armies as compared with the German increases. In March 1918 the great German offensive swept away more t...han all our gains since 1915. The final result was as you were three years before. It cannot be proved that our offensive and gain of territory from July to October 1918 was the cause of the German surrender.
