Rising to the highest places and
honors in British military circles,
the Earl of Ypres often was char
acterized as the luckiest man In
the army" and French luck became
almost prverbial among the British
soldiers. Later events, however,
caused a difference of opinion as to
whether the luck had been on the
soldiers side or on that OF the
British Army and the British EN-
pire.
Perhaps the most important event
of his career which had to do with
these two ideas was the historic
battle of Ypres in the World War,
the winning of which barred the
channel ports from the Germans
and saved England from probable
invasion. 1t was at Ypres that the
Germans first resorted to their dead
