Summary "The Fighting Retreat To Paris" by Roger Ingpen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of the British Expeditionary Force during World War I, detailing their mobilization, battles, and eventual retreat from Mons towards Paris. It offers a vivid depiction of the bravery and struggles faced by soldiers, as well as their communications and sentiments during a pivotal moment in the war. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the British Army’s entry into combat in France as they prepare to assist their Allies against the German advance. It includes the King's encouraging message to his troops and Lord Kitchener’s directive emphasizing discipline and comportment during the war. The chapter outlines the preparations leading to the Battle of Mons, highlighting the strategic movements of the troops, their initial encounters with heavy enemy forces, and the grim experiences of individual soldiers at the onset of the conflict.
