Essay 1
How is the Raid Badly Planned?
Soldiers were bound to die during the raid in the 1st World War because the plan of the English's raid was rushed as the Boshes attack was going to occur at any time. Originally, the plan was to cross no-mans land, capture German soldiers and bring them back for questioning that night, although Stanhope thought that during the day would be a better time because the Germans would not expect the attack then. This is part of the conversation when the colonel told Stanhope about the raid.
Colonel: "The general wants us to make a raid to find out who's come out into the line opposite"..."as soon as possible. He said tonight."
