Contact- A Fresh Look At The Action At Castenau – Geoff Massey

 

 

 

The cavalry action fought at Casteau on the 22nd August 1914 is mentioned in almost every account of the Battle of Mons.

However, in the telling and re-telling details have been left out, errors have crept in - and been repeated; so much so that often no two accounts agree.

Using first-hand accounts and documents, is it possible to take a fresh look at the action and come up with an accurate picture?
