Présentation de l'éditeur
September 6S eptember lo, 1914.) September 11, 1914. It will be remembered that the general position of our troops on Sunday, September 6, was stated to be south of the Marne, with French forces in line on our right and left. Practically there had been no change in the situation since Thursday, the 3rd, which marked the end of our Army slong retirement from the Belgian frontier through Northern France. On Friday, the 4th, it became apparent that there was an alteration in the direction of advance of almost the whole of theist German A rmy. That Army since the battle near Mons on August 23 had been playing its part in the colossal strategic endeavour to create a Sedan for the Allies by outflanking and enveloping the left of their whole line so as to encircle and drive both British and French to the south. There was now a change in its objective ;and it was observed that the German forces opposite the British were beginning to move in a south-easterly direction instead of continuing south-west on to the Capital.
