*Books by two out of 25 volunteer members of the RAC [Royal Automobile Club] Contingent, who volunteered with their own car, who were sent officially by the War Office to drive officers of the General Headquarters Staff at the front. As a result, they were in constant contact with very senior officers, and personally observed the course of events over a wide field. It seems they officially joined the Army, and were given officer status.
