About this listen
In this Whizz-Bang, Mike breaks down the Battle of Le Cateau, a small but essential encounter battle that makes up part of the mosaic of the Battle of the Frontiers. While attempting to pull their forces out of the way of the German steamroller, the British tried to slow their pursers down by turning and fighting. What followed was an artillery duel that displayed the dominance of shellfire over infantry on the modern battlefield. The British fought stubbornly but without clear direction and eventually were forced from the field but, importantly, were not followed immediately. The Germans, believing they had destroyed the BEF and not merely a Corps, settled in for a short well-earned rest before continuing towards the ultimate goal: Paris.
