	British Expeditionary Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The BEF was established by Secretary of State for War Richard Haldane following the Second Boer War in case the United Kingdom ever needed to deploy quickly a force to take part in an overseas war.
		The BEF was composed of three corps (I Corps, II Corps and the Cavalry Corps) - four regular infantry divisions, rising later to seven infantry and three cavalry divisions with the addition of volunteers from Territorial Army units that had waived their right to only serve in defence of the British Isles.
		The term "British Expeditionary Force" strictly refers only to the forces present in France prior to the end of the First Battle of Ypres, November 22, 1914; the surviving members of these forces were later awarded the Mons Star.

	The British Expeditionary Force

		Against the onslaught of blitzkrieg, the BEF withdrew, along with remnants of the French army, to Dunkirk.

	The Donkeys: A History of the British Expeditionary Force in 1915 Book at Shop Ireland
		The subsequent outpourings of newer histories, even where 1915 and the British attacks are covered as part of a general review of the war, have much more to add to an understanding of the conflict in that year than this book.
		In castigating the failure of British generals to adapt tactically and strategically to a very different set of circumstances, Liddell Hart and his followers failed to explain how the British Expeditionary Force ultimately led the Allies to victory in the Hundred Days in the autumn of 1918.
		Enterprising officers within the British Army, led by Arthur Solly Flood, Director of Training, GHQ, adapted (between the summer of 1916 and spring of 1917) the tactical principle of small-unit, fire and movement and all-arms approach combining infantry and artillery in a deep battle that led the BEF to victory in 1918.

	The British Expeditionary Force to Walcheren: 1809
		The British hope to achieve two goals: to assist the Austrians, who had gone to war against the French and to destroy the French fleet thought to be in Flushing.
		The British force had 4,066 deaths during the expedition, but only 106 officers and men were killed in combat.
		Unlike the British forces that served in the Peninsula with Wellington, where there are numerous books listing the order-of-battle for any given period, there is little written about the British Expeditionary Force to Walcheren.

	1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment:- Mobilisation and Embarkation of the British Expeditionary Force
		Three Regiments, the Royal Fusiliers, the Middlesex and the London (Territorials), were extended to an altogether extraordinary number of battalions, which before the War ended reached a combined total of not less than 100 battalions.The Middlesex Regiment alone sent 26 Battalions into the field, and these fought in ten theatres of war.

		Before the Expeditionary Force sailed, certain troops were sent across to France to guard the Lines of Communication, and amongst these was the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment.

		Following the Battle of France, in which the French army had been decimated, and the British Expeditionary Force forced to return home without any equipment, the British government, and Winston Churchill in particular, were left with a grave decision to make.
		After seeing the daunting progress made by the Wermacht (German Forces), two members of the British War Cabinet, Neville Chamberlain and Lord Halifax, declared that they thought it best to propose a peace settlement in late May 1940.
		The Expeditionary Force did not have the required weapons to defend Britain’s beaches, and the Royal Navy, although able to defend the shores, would be sitting ducks for the Luftwaffe.
