Le Cateau - A Complete Re-evaluation

Speaker: Phil Warren
01 Jan 26 Le Cateau

In this talk, Phil examines Smith Dorrien's defence of his actions and why he decided to stand and fight. It is not an evaluation of the battle itself but of Smith Dorrien's reasoning and his justification for ignoring the direction of Field Marshal French.

Members and non-members of the Western Front Association are equally welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts. Suggested donation on the door £5.
