Command in the Royal Naval Division

Arthur Asquith was the Prime Minister's son, friend of Winston Churchill and Rupert Brooke, and one of the most gifted and courageous amateur soldiers of the Great War. He rose from Sub Lieutenant to Brigadier in just over three years, won three DSOs for gallantry, the Croix de Guerre, was wounded four times and recommended for the Victoria Cross and Distinguished Service Cross—becoming a legend to both his fellow officers and men. This book looks back at his illustrious military career.
