Note 23 — Chapter VII · OPERATIONS IN THE WINTER AND SPRING OF 1917
Reading edition
General Sarrail in his memoirs tries to defend himself by publishing the orders of the French Government, which enjoined on him now an action in Greece, now an offensive on the front; but he does not appear to have put the question in clear language—either one thing or the other; if one was to be carried out he must have no arrière pensée for the other.
