THE 1918 GERMAN OFFENSIVE SIR,-1 have been commissioned by Messrs.

Eyre and Spottiswoode to write a history of the German spring offensive of 1918—to embrace not only the events of the battlefield, but the political and grand-strategical background to the offensive, and the consequences of its failure.

Should any of your readers have any recollections or documents touching upon these events I should be most grateful for their help.—Yours faithfully, CORRELLI BARNETT Cat bridge House. East Carleton. Norwich. Nor 94 W
