About this book

"Fields of Victory" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a historical account written shortly after World War I, specifically in the late 1910s. The work focuses on the author’s observations and reflections about the impact of the war on France and the role of British forces in the final campaigns leading to the armistice. The narrative also addresses the emotional toll of war on the French populace and the national spirit, reinforcing themes of memory, loss, and the quest for peace in a war-torn landscape. The opening of "Fields of Victory" introduces the author's journey through the battlefields of France shortly after the Armistice. It paints a vivid picture of the devastating aftermath of war, detailing the ruins of towns and the desolation that marks the landscape. The author describes her interactions with military leaders and reflects on the significant sacrifices made by the French during the war, juxtaposing this with the perceptions and contributions of the British Army. Through a series of letters, she aims to convey both the palpable desperation experienced by the French and the broader context of military efforts, which she believes have been misunderstood; thus, she seeks to clarify the British Army's crucial role in the war's conclusion.
