- Pillbox_affair abstract "The Pillbox affair, also known as the Pillbox incident, was a military and political episode which occurred in Britain between November 1939 and January 1940. The British War Minister, Leslie Hore-Belisha, visited France and the positions of the British Expeditionary Force in mid-November.Hore-Belisha and the commander of the BEF, General, later Field Marshal, John Vereker, 6th Viscount Gort, did not get along well together; Gort disliked Hore-Belisha for his colourful personality and unorthodox manner of conducting matters relating to the Army, and the Minister rapidly came to recognise that.When Hore-Belisha visited the BEF in November, he oversaw the placement of the troops of the BEF, not the defences being constructed, and so when he returned to Britain, he complained to the War Cabinet and the Army Council that too few pillbox defences were being built for the BEF.Gort and colleagues friendly to him were greatly angered by what they saw as this unjust and ill-founded criticism and so began a campaign against Hore-Belisha, which culminated in January 1940 in being dismissed from the post of War Minister.".
