A detailed military biography of Brigadier General Arthur Melland Asquith DSO, son of the British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, tracing his distinguished service with the Royal Naval Division during the First World War. Christopher Page examines Asquith’s wartime career from enlistment in 1914 through Gallipoli, the Western Front and Passchendaele, before his eventual return to civilian life.
Drawing upon personal papers, official records and contemporary accounts, the book provides valuable insight into trench warfare, battlefield leadership and the operational history of the Royal Naval Division. The volume is illustrated with period photographs, portrait plates and trench maps, making it a useful reference for historians and collectors interested in the Great War and British military biography.
