Peter Whelan's 'Useless Mouths' looks of the British Army's supply service, how it developed and how it failed - especially in the Crimea War - as well as examining the reforms of the 19th century. It looks at how the lines of communication functioned during WW1, explaining how they were stretched by the German offensive in March 1918. The focus of the book looks at the developments in the interwar years, and how it functioned during the French Campaign of May/June 1940.
