... that confusion at the Calais Conference of July 1915 meant that both the British and French thought they had persuaded the other to support their opposing war strategies? Source: "This first meeting was so badly organised that no secretary was present to record its conclusion and the result was that the French believed that the British had agreed to a major offensive on the Western Front in the summer whilst the British believed that the French had agreed that Britain should make her main effort at the Dardanelles" from: Smith, Paul (15 July 2010).
