THE 
WESTERN ARMIES 
THE most critical moment in the history of the British Empire 
and of her Ally France, is now to hand and we shall be witnesses of 
a struggle such as the world has never seen. In order to bring clearly 
before the public the reasons and causes of the Alliance between this 
country and France a special number of Lmid & Water entitled 
The Western Armies Number will be published on March 29th, 
price one shilling. This will be, as the fallowing particulars show, 
one of the- most interesting that Land & Water has ever published. 
Mr. Hilaire Belloc, in addition to his weekly military article, contributes 
a special article dealing with the growth of the alliance of France and Britain 
in the field. There is no English writer in the first rank who understands the 
two Nations more thoroughly than Mr. Belloc. 
Dr. J. Holland Rose, Reader in Modern History, Cambridge, writes on the 
birth and development of the Entente Cordiale. 
" Centurion," that distinguished writer of short stories, contributes one 
describing modern fighting in Picardy, many of the incidents being from per- 
sonal experience. 
A special feature of this number will be .a long original story 
by Mr. Joseph Conrad, of the time of the Napoleonic Wars, illus- 
trated by Mr. Dudley Hardy. 
The more specially French aspect will be ably dealt with by M. Henri 
Davray, an eminent French publicist. His contribution will tell of the welding 
together of the two great democracies, French and British. 
Colonel Feyler, the famous Swiss military critic, and Professor Bidou, of 
t\\G Journal des Debats, the military critic who enjoys to-day the highest reputation 
in France, discuss the strategy of the Allies. 
The work of the Flying Corps of both armies in France forms the subject 
of another highly important article ; and 
special interest attaches to the appearance 
for the first time among tHe contributors 
to Land & Water of the eminent French 
writer, Maurice Barres. 
This number is plentifully illustrated 
with private photographs of the war in 
France which have, appeared in no other 
journal.
