The Unseen Killers at Le Cateau, by Pte R G Hill | 26 August 1914 | Episode 19
Published on 26 August 1914
Private R. G. Hill went to France on August 22, 1914, with the 1st R. Warwickshire Regt. Except for a few days in hospital in 1915 he served in this battalion until April 1, 1917 when he was wounded and discharged medically unfit in March 1918. His story of the wild fighting at Le Cateau and of the nightmare of marching in retreat creates again the epic of the 'contemptible' infantrymen of 1914.
