LLoyd-George’s War Memoirs
LLOYD-GEORGE
(David, Earl, 1863-1945, Prime Minister)
Important Typed Letter Signed with autograph postscript signed ‘L.G.’ to Norman Collins,
sending him “a full rough draft on my work at the Ministry of Munitions. It will require a good deal of revision, checking, and probably much cutting down and compression, but also I fear a measure of expansion in some respects after the chapters have been submitted to the energetic man whose work it concerns. Still, it will give you an idea of the kind of work we accomplished. I mean to add a chapter which will have a bearing on the pending discussions about Disarmament. It will dwell on the inevitable time-lag between orders and production. It will be designed to show that if existing armaments are reduced, and the surplus broken up, it will take at least twelve months to equip an army...” sending some chapters which he would very much like him “to re-read them with a view to your seeing what impression the story as a whole is likely to make on a reader. There are some alterations in the Drink Chapter... material additions to the Gun Programme Chapter...”, he then deals with specific topics “Financial Crisis”, “German and Wilson Peace Notes:... will follow the chapters on the discussions in the Asquith Cabinet in the late autumn of 1916...” “Mesopotamia: I have a rather harrowing chapter on the conduct of the Mesopotamian Campaign. It will have a bearing on the claim of the soldiers that their failures, were there were any, were largely attributable to the interference of politicians.... I hope to send you my chapters on the Strategy and Conduct of the War. These raise the whole issue of the Eastern and Western Fronts ... Gollancz suggested to me that I should give the whole of the facts...”, the postscript is “Political Crisit 1915. I am not sure whether you have seen this”, 3 sides A4, Bron-y-De, Churt, Surrey headed paper, 24th November
