This is the first of a number of talks in which A.G. Macdonell will tell you something of the history and the life of various well-known French towns in which men of the B.E.F. may very well find themselves. Macdonell is a witty observer. Perhaps you remember his 'England, their England', a riotously satirical view of England by a visiting Scot. You are sure to hear him in this vein during these talks, and as for his knowledge of France and the French - you have only to read his 'Napoleon and his Generals' to assure yourselves of it.
