A study of British Second Corps 1914. - Geof White

A study of British Second Corps 1914.' I can send you a short summary in due course. Basically historians generally support that Smith-Dorrien's Second Corps, despite its performances at Mons and Le Cateau was a poorer performing  formation compared to other Corps in the BEF and particularly Haig's Fist Corps.  My research did turn up some surprising twists and turns however and I arrived at one conclusion which even surprised myself!
