    An excellent, well presented guide to the BEF's retreat from Mons. This book is an ideal companion to a visit to the area the BEF were initially engaged in. Well written and informative with historical context and easy to read and follow maps and way points. I will be using this book, hand in hand with Jerry's other book - "Retreat and Rearguard 1914 - The BEF's actions from Mons to the Marne - on my next Battlefield Recce in October. An excellen book.

    In diesem Buch über den Rückzug des englischen Expeditionsheeres nach dem ersten Zusammentreffen mit deutschen Truppen, 18 Tage nach Kriegsbeginn, und die Beschreibung der folgenden Schlacht bei le Cateau, ist genauestens recherchiert und beschreibt verschiedene Wanderungen über das Schlachtfeld. Es werden viele Einzelschicksale, englische wie deutsche geschildert, so findet auch meine Großvater Erwähnung.
