SIR JOHN FRENCH
TELLS OF MOVEMENT
[ Continued From llrst Page]
Pushed ills Flank Hack
"The commander of the First Corps j
had pushed his flank back to some
high ground south of Bray and the!
Fifth Cavalry evacuated Blnche, mov
ing slightly south. The enemy there- j
upon occupied Hinche.
"The right of the Third Division,
under General Hamilton, was at Mons,
which formed a somewhat dangerous
salient and 1 directed the commander
of the Second Corps if threatened
seriously to draw back the center be
hind Mons. This was done before
dark.
"In the meantime, about 5 in the
afternoon, I received a most unex
pected message from General Joffro
by telegraph, telling nie that at least
three German corps were moving on
my position in front and that a second
corps wjis engaged in a turning move
ment from the direction of Tournai.
He also informed me that the ••o re
serve French divisions and the Fifth
French Army Corps on my right were
retiring, the Germans having on the
previous day gained possession of the
passage of the Samhre between Char
ieroi and Namur.
"In view of the possibility of my
being driven from the Mons position.
1 had previously ordered a position
in the rear to be reconnoitered. This
position rested on the fortress of Mati
beuge on the right and extended west
to Jenlaln. southeast of Valenciennes
on the left. The position was report
ed difficult to hold because standing
I crops and buildings made the sighting
lof trenches very difficult and limited
( the fire in many important localities.
It nevertheless afforded a few good
artillery positions.
l ighting on Whole Line
"When the news of the retirement
of the French and the heavy German
threatening on my front reached me,
1 endeavored to confirm it by aero
plane reconnoisance and as a result of
| this I determined to effect a retire
ment to the Maubeuge position at day
break on the 24th.
"A certain amount of fighting con
tinued along the whole line through
out the night and at daybreak on the
24th the Second Division from the
neighborhood of Harmignies made a
powerful demonstration as if to retake
i Blnche. This was supported by the
artillery of both the First and the
Second Division, while the First Di
vision took up a supporting position
in the neighborhood of Pelxsant. Un- j
der cover of this demonstration the
Second Corps retired on the line of.
Dour, Qurouble and Frameriess. The
Tihrd Division on the right of the
i corps suffered considerable loss in
. I this operation from the enemy, who
. | had retaken Mons.
"The Second Corps halted on this
line, where they enrenched them
selves, enabling Sir Douglas Haig,
with the First Corps to withdraw to
' the new position, and he effected this
[ without much further loss, reaching
■ the line from Bavay to Maubcuge
1 about 7 In the evening.
Attack Directed at loft
s "Towards midnight the enemy ap
peared to be directing his principal
> effort against our left. I had previous
■ ly ordered General Allenby with the
i cavalry to vigorously attack in ad
t vance of my front and endeavor to
i i take the pressure off.
I "About 7.30 in the morning General
• Allenby received a message from Sir
. Charles Fergusson, commanding the
■ Fifth Division, saying he was vary
i hard pressed and in urgent need of
•l support. On receipt of this inesstge,
•[General Allenby drew in his cavalry
> and endeavored to bring direct sup
■ port to the Fifth Division.
"During the course of this operation I
r General Dlst, of the Second Cavalry I
, Brigade, thought he saw a good op-1

formed up and advanced for this pur
pose. but was held up by wire about
500 yards from bis objective and the
Ninth ijanrers and the Kighteenth
I Hussars suffered severely in the re
tirement of the brigade.
Great Losses Suffered
"The Nineteenth infantry Brigade,
which had been guarding the line of
communication, was brought by rail to
Valenciennes on the 22nd and 23rd.
On the morning of the 24th they were
| moved out to a position south of
Quorouble to the flank of the Second
Corps. "With the assistance of cavalry
Sir Horace Smith Dorrien was enabled
to effect his retreat to a new position,
although having two corps of the
enemy on his front and one threaten
ing his flank. He suffered great
losses in doing so.
"At nightfall a position was occu
pied by the Second Corps to the west
of Havay, the First Corps to the
right. The right was protected by
the fortress of Maubeuge, the left by
i the Nineteenth Brigade in position be
j tween Jenlay and Bruay, and cavalry
on the outer flank. The French were
J still retiring and I had no support ex
cept such as was afforded by the
fortress of Maubeuge. and determined
efforts of the enemy to get around my
flank assured me that it was his in
tention to hem me against that place
and surround me. I felt that not a
moment must be lost in returning to
unother position. I had every reason
to believe that the enemy's forces
were some what exhausted and I knew
that they had suffered heavy losses. I
hoped therefor that his pursuit would
not he too vigorous to prevent mc ef
fecting my object. The operation,
however, was full of danger and dif
ficulty, not only owing to the very
(superior forces in my front, but also
to the exhaustion of the troops.
"The retirement was recommenced
in the early mornng of the 25th to
a position in the neighborhood of
I<ecateau, and the rear guard was or
dered to be clear of Maubeuge and
Bavey by 5.30 a. m.
"Although the troops had been or
dered to occupy the Cambrai-le-Ca
teau-Dandreceis position, and ground
had, during the 25th, been partially
prepared and entrenched, I had grave
doubts, owing to Information I had
I received as to the accumulating
strength of the enemy against me, as
I .to the wisdom of standing there to
tight.
"Having regard to the continued
retirement of the French right, my
exposed left flank, the tendency of
the enemy's western corps to envelop
me, and more than all. the exhausted
condition of the troops, I determined
to make a great effort to continue the
retreat till I could put some substan
tial obstacle, such as the Somme or
the Oise between my troops and the
enemy and afford the former some
protection.
Hetroat Continued
"Orders were therefofre sent to the
corps commanders to continue their
retreat as soon as they possible could.
The enemy, however, would not allow
them this rest and about 9.30 the
evening of August 25 the report was
received that the Fourth Guards Bri
gade in Landrecles was heavily at
tacked by troops of the Ninth Ger
man Army Corps, who were coming
through the forest to the north of
the town. This brigade fought most
gallantly and caused the enemy to
suffer a tremendous loss In issuing
from the forest Into the narrow streets
of the town. This loss has been esti
mated from reliable sources at be
tween 700 and 1,000.
"At the same time information
reached me from Sir Douglass Haig
that his First Division was also heav
ily engaged south and east of Ma
riles. I sent urgent messages to the
commanders of two French reserve
divisions on my right to come up to
the assistance of the First Corps,
which they eventually did. Partly
owing to theis assistance, but mainly
to the skillful manner In which Sir
Douglas Halg extricated his corps
from an exceptionally difficult posi
tion in the darkness of night, they
were able at dawn to resynie their
march towards Wassigny and Guise.
"By about 6 In the afternoon the
Second Corps had got into position.
During the fighting on the 24th and
1 25th the cavalry became a good deal
scattered, but by early morning of the
26t.h General Allenby had succeeded
I In concentrating two brigades.
Army Horses Tired
"On the 24th the French cavalry,
[ consisting of three divisions under
• General Sordel, had been In Billots,
■ north of Avesnos. I visited General
I Sordel and earnestly requested his 00-1
: operation and support. He promised!
i to obtain sanction from bis army coin- |
» mander to act on my left flank, butj
SEPTEMBER 10. 1914.
satrl that his horses were too tired to
move before the next day.
"Although he rendered me valuable
assistance later on in the eour.se of the
retirement, he was unable for the
reasons given to afford me any sup
port on the most critical day of all,
namely the 26th.
"At daybreak it became apparent
that the enemy was throwing the bulk
of his strength against the. left of the
position occupied by the Second Corps
and the Fourth Division. At this time
the guns of four German army corps
were in position against them and Sir
Horace Smith Dorrlen reported to me
that he judged it impossible to con
tinued his retirement at daybreak, as
ordered, in the face of such an at
tack.
I'nable to Intervene
'I sent him orders to use his utmost
endeavors to break off the action and
retire at the earliest possible mo
ment. as it was Impossible for me to
send him support, the First Corps
being at the moment incapable of
movement. The French cavalry corps
under General Sordel was coming up
on our left rear early In the morn
ing and I sent him an urgent message
to do his utmost to come up and sup
port the retirement of my left dank,
but owing to the fatigue of his horses
he thought himself unable to inter
vene in any way.
"There had been no time to en
trench the position properly, but the
troops showed a magnificent front to
the terrible fire which confronted
them. The artillery, although out
matched by at least four to one, made
a splendid tight and inflicted heavy
losses on their opponents.
At length It became apparent that
if complete annihilation was to be
avoided, retirement must be attempted
and the order was given to commence
It about 3.30 In the afternoon. The
movement was covered with most de
voted Intrepidity and determination
by the artillery, which had Itself suf
fered heavily, and the fine work done
by the cavalry, in the further retreat
from the position, assisted materially
the final completion of this most dif
ficult and dangerous operation. For
tunately, the enemy had himself suf
fered too heavily to engage in an en
ergetic pursuit.
Services Praised
"1 cannot close the brief account
lof this glorious stand of the British
I troops without putting on record my
I deep appreciation of the valuable
services rendered by Sir Horace Smith
Dorrien. I say without hesitation that
the saving of the left wing of the army
under my command on the morning
of the 2fith could never have been
accomplished unless a commander of
rare and unusual coolness, intrepidit.v
and determination bad been present
to personally conduct, the operations.
"The retreat was continued far into
the night of the 26th and through
the 27th and 28th, to the line from
Noyon. Chauny and l,efere, having
then thrown off the weight ol' the
enemy's pursuit.
"This closed the period co\ering
the heavy fighting which commenced
at Monson August 23 and which rcallv
constitutel a four days' battle. At
this point, therefore, I propose to close
the present dispatch.
"I deeply deplore the very serious
losses which the British forces suf
fered in this great battle, but they
were Inevitable in view of the fact
that the British army—only a few
days after concentration by rail—was
called upon to withstand the vigorous
attack of five German army corps."
The report praised tlie magnificent
fighting spirit displayed by officers
and men.
"I wish particularly to bring to your
lordship's notice the admirable work
done by the Royal Flying Corps under
Sir David Henderson," the report
said.
"Their skill, energy and persever
ance is beyond all praise. They have
furnished with most complete and
accurate Information which has been
of incalculable value in the conduct
of operations. They were fired at
constantly both by friend and foe, and
not hesitating to fight In every kind
of weather, they have remained un
daunted throughout. At Furth, by
actual fighting, they destroyed five of
the enemy's machines."
The report closes with a grateful
acknowledgment of the assistance ren
dered by the headquarters staffs.
