British Forces Push German Army From Marne Front
Long dispatches detail September battles as Sir John French reports French and British delaying retirement, with German flank attempts, numerous village captures, and heavy losses on both sides. Royal Flying Corps praise cited, prisoner counts rise, and German retreat accelerates north of the Marne. At Meaux and Ourcq, French and British forces press, while atrocity reports and casualty numbers accompany campaign updates.
