Summary "The Doings of the Fifteenth Infantry Brigade: August 1914 to March 1915" by Count Gleichen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This firsthand narrative chronicles the experiences of the Fifteenth Infantry Brigade during the early months of World War I, as seen through the eyes of its commander. The book likely offers a detailed perspective on military mobilization, battles, and the challenges faced by soldiers in the field. The opening of the work sets the stage for the mobilization of the Fifteenth Infantry Brigade, detailing the preparations that took place in August 1914. The narrative begins with the brigade receiving orders, assembling its various components, and embarking on their journey to France. Count Gleichen introduces key members of his staff, describes the initial chaotic environment of military logistics, and shares the camaraderie and challenges faced by the soldiers.
