My last student was marvelous, he…” She trailed off, memories resurfacing from when they were all caught in a battle. “Quand même, I’m sure you’re a fast learner,” she smiled at Jade, pushing away all other thoughts.

Britain sent the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) under Sir John French. The army of 100,000 soldiers arrived in Belgium on the 17th August. The Germans, who had hoped the British would not join, were now forced to fight them at the Battle of Mons. The British retreated to the French armies. The German Armies were now moving south.

anticipated that the Belgians would essentially give them a chance to go through, or, on the off chance that they even battled, to be immediately vanquished. A littler compel would be put on the Franco-German outskirts toward the east of France to battle against a normal French countering.

This would prompt to the circle and beyond any doubt demolition
