Summary:

"A Short History of the 6th Division: Aug. 1914-March 1919" by Sir Thomas Owen Marden is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the experiences and actions of the 6th Division of the British Army during World War I, detailing its formation, mobilization, and involvement in various significant battles. The author aims to provide a recorded history for those who served in the division, including their achievements and sacrifices throughout the war. The opening of the account begins with a preface explaining the author's motivation for compiling this history, noting the absence of documentation for the 6th Division due to its scattered units. It establishes the timeline of the division's activities starting from its mobilization in August 1914, highlighting training periods and logistical moves to France. Marden aims to document the contributions of all involved, referencing the cooperation between infantry and artillery, and setting the stage for the division's involvement in key battles throughout the war.
