註釋The diary of the 17th Earl of Derby, once thought to have been lost, provides a detailed account of the last months of WW1 as seen through the eyes of the British Ambassador in Paris. He was possibly an unlikely choice as, on his arrival, he could not speak French and was not a diplomat. His appointment owed much to Lloyd George's determination to remove him from his previous post as Secretary of State for War. But, after an uncertain start, he proved to be successful, and the foreign secetaries, Athur Balfour and Lord Curzon relied heavily on him for their appreciation of the situation on the other side of the Channel.
