Committee on Alleged German Outrages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Committee on Alleged German Outrages, commonly known as The Bryce Commission, was formed in December 1914, under the leadership of Prime Minister H.H. Asquith. Britain’s war propaganda headquarters, (Wellington House), initiated what would become a triumph for Britain in World War I. The report was commonly referred to as The Bryce Report because it was directed by Viscount James Bryce. The committee also included Sir Frederick Pollock, Sir Edward Clarke, Sir Alfred Hopkinson, Sir Kenelm E. Digby, Mr. H.A.L. Fisher, and Mr. Harold Cox. The goal of this committee was to investigate the charges of German soldiers committing outrages against civilians during the invasion of Belgium in World War I.
