This book is No. 42 in the Wolverhampton Military Series. It examines the evolution of infantry brigade command in the British Army in the First World War. Through a series of case studies, the author demonstrates that the response of brigades to the challenges of the Western Front reflects the Army's capacity for organisational and tactical change. The book demonstrates how the influence of the corps or the division under which a brigade served is fundamental to its battlefield performance and success.
