Mons August 23rd 1914: "... exterminate the treacherous English and walk over General French's contemptible little Army." The BEF may have seemed "contemptible" to the Kaiser, but what it lacked in numbers it made up for in firepower and professional skill. At Mons, Landrecies and Le Cateau the "Old Contemptibles" were to wrest undying glory from a bloody game of blind man's buff played with the flowere of three armies.
