Worked on researching some of the Major Land Battles prior to 1917 involving any country:URL for the site of where i found the information: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWbattles.htm-Battle of Mons, August of 1914: "The British Expeditionary Force (BEF) arrived in France on the 14th of August, 1914. On the way to meet the French Army in Charleroi, the 70,000 strong BEF met an advancing German Army in Mons." Sir John French, the British Commander sent out infantry troops under the Command of General Horace Smith-Dorrien, with them marching 40 km both east and west of Mons.Will continue on Monday. :)
