The presentation will be live and online.
This talk by Phil Watson will look at three key elements of Haig's and the BEF's First World War doctrine and command philosophy. It will look at the doctrine within the Field Service Regulations (FSR), how Haig implemented it as an Army Commander, and those elements that are to be found in the current British Military Doctrine 2022 (BMD).
