ABSTRACT
The conditions for the further employment of tanks at Ypres were demonstrably so unsuitable that we began to feel we should not be used there again. The last battalion attacks had hardly been able to flounder into danger. Our casualties in men turned out to be slight. Nevertheless I had one more jaunt, a reconnaissance of the Poelkappelle-Pashendaele front. By that time I was sufficiently angry and fed up to condemn in plain English the bit of the project on which it was my business to report.
