Major-General Sir Charles Edward Callwell KCB was an Anglo-Irish officer of the British Army, who served in the artillery, as an intelligence officer, and as a staff officer and commander during the Second Boer War. As a noted strategist and well known in military circles, he was recalled [aka ‘dug-out’] to the colours during the First World War, as part of the rapid expansion of the British Army from a small regular army to the mass volunteer army. He served as Director of Operations & Intelligence during the Gallipoli campaign and also on military missions to Russia and in staff posts in the Ministry of Munitions. In this memoir he recounts his experiences as a witness to the many successes, a few of the disasters and the unstinting effort of the high command of the British War effort during the First World War.
