I have the bonour to report the eparations of the British Forces soreing In France and Belgium sincs 19th Decome her 1913, on whier date, in accordance with the orders of His Majesty' Govern, iment. Lassumed the Chief Cornuland.

During this period the only offensive effort made by the enòmy on" a great scale was directed against our French Allies nor, Verdun. The fighting in that acom has bean prolonged and severo.. The results have been tolily of the high traditions" of the French Army and of great service to the estee of the Allies. The efforts made by the enemy have cont Sim heavy losses both in men and in prestige, and ho han pada these sacrises without gaining any advantage to counter. Ealance thom.

During this struggle my troops bara boen in readiness to co-operate as they might be needed; hub, the only assistance Baked for by our Allies was of an indirect nature viz., the relief of the French Reope on a portion of their defensive froos. This relief I was glad to be able to afford.

Ita execution on considerable front, everywhere in close touch with the enemy, was a somewhat delicate opern- tion, but it was cried and with complete success, thanks to the cordial co-operation and goodwill of all ranks concerned and to the lack of enterprise shown by the chemy during the relief.
