EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates a pivotal moment in the early history of World War I, specifically the British Expeditionary Force's (BEF) retreat from Mons to Meaux and the subsequent Allied offensive in September 1914. The image, titled "WW1 - Mons and our Masterly Move - Field Marshall Sir John French's Historical Dispatch," is a pictorial map that provides a clear and detailed overview of the strategic movements during this critical period. At the center of the map, a portrait of Field Marshal Sir John French, the Commander-in-Chief of the BEF, serves as a focal point. Surrounding his image is an intricately drawn map of the Western Front, highlighting the border between France and Belgium, where the initial clashes between Allied and German forces took place. The map shows the BEF's initial advance into Belgium, followed by the German encirclement at the Battle of the Marne and the subsequent Allied counterattack. Key military figures and their respective units are denoted on the map, including General de Lisle and the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, Major Sir Douglas Haig and his Corps, Lieutenant General Smith-Dorrien, and other commanders. The map also illustrates the tactical maneuvers and movements of the various armies, such as the advancing Allied forces and the retreating German troops. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex military strategies and movements during the early stages of World War I, providing valuable historical context and insight into the pivotal role of the British Expeditionary Force in the Allied victory at the Battle of the Marne.
