Mons 1914, The BEF's Tactical Triumph by David
Lomas
The first major clash of the Great War, Mons came as a nasty shock to
the Imperial German Army. Assured by their command that they would sweep
the French and their British allies in the BEF - 'that contemptible
little army', into the sea in a matter of weeks; they were stopped in
their tracks at Mons by a numerically inferior British force. Eventually
forced to fall back by overwhelming German numbers, the British carried
out a masterful fighting retreat across Belgium and northern France.
