services rendered by Sir Horace Smith
Dorrien. ] say without hesitation that
the saving of the left wing of the army
under, my command on the morning
of the Goth could never have been
accomplished unless a commander of
rare and unusual GOODNESS. intrepidity
and determination had been present
to personally conduct the operations.
The retreat was continued far into
the night of the 26th and through
the 27th and 2Sth, to the line from
Noyon. Chauny and Lefere, having
then thrown off the weight of the
enemy's pursuit.
This closed the period covering
the heavy fighting which commenced
at Monson August 23 and which really
constituted a four days battle. At
this point, therefore, propose to close
the present dispatch.
81 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 the magnificent
fighting spirit displayed by officers
and men.
1 WISH particularly 10 DrlnB 10 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 enemys machines"
The report closes with a grateful
acknowledgment of the assistance rem

portunity to paralyze the further ad
vance of enemy's infantry by making
mounted attack on his flank He
formed up and advanced for this pur-
pose but was held up by wire about
800 yards from his objective and the
Ninth lIancers and the Eighteenth
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
Nalenciennes on the 22nd and 23rd
On the morning of the oath they were
moved out to 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 Bavay, the First Corps to the
right. The right was protected by
the fortress of Maubeuge. the left by
the Nineteenth Brigade in position be-
tween Jenlay and Bruay, and cavalry
on the outer flank. The French were
still retiring and l 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 1t was his in
tention to hem me against that place
and surround me. ] felt that not a
moment must be lost in returning to
another position. | had every reason
to believe that the enemy's forces
were some what exhausted and | knew
that they had suffered heavy losses ]
hoped therefor that his pursuit would
not be too vigorous to prevent me ef-
fecting my object. The operation
however, was fun of danger and diff
ficulty, not only owing to the very
superior forces in my front, but also
to the exhaustion of the troops.
The retirement was RECOMMENDED
in the early morning of the 25th to
position in the neighborhood OF
Lecateau, and the rear guard was or
dered to be clear of Maubeuge and
Bavey by $40 a. m.
Although the troops had been or
dered to occupy the Cambrai-le-Ca-
teau-Landreceis position, and ground
had, during the 25th, been partially
prepared and entrenched, | had grave
doubts, owing to information haC
received as to the accumuatine
strength of the enemy against me, a.

said that his horses were too tired to
move before the next day.
Although he rendered me valuable
assistance later on in the course 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 1t 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 Dorrien reported to me
that he judged 1t impossible to con-
tinued his retirement at daybreak, as
ordered, in the face of such an at
tack.
Unable to Intervene
4 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
The French cavalry corps
under General Sordel was coming up
on our left rear early in the morn
ing and l sent him an urgent message
to do his utmost to come up and sup
port the retirement of my left flank,
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
splendid fight and inflicted heavy
losses on their opponents.
At length 1t became apparent that
if complete annihilation was to be
avoided, retirement must be attempted
and the order was given to commence
1t about $50 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 diff
ficult and dangerous operation. For
tunateiy, the enemy had himself suf-
fered too heavily to engage in an en-
ergetic pursuit.
Services Praised
