Scope and content
Notes [by Robertson] commenting on a memorandum written by the Rt Hon Winston (Leonard Spencer) Churchill, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, arguing against the concentration of resources on the Western Front. Robertson's reply connects the failure to break through the German lines in France and Belgium to the severe shortages of troops and ammunition, and disputes Churchill's theory that success is more likely on the Eastern Front. 5pp.
