In August 1914, a small British force found itself face-to-face with a massive German army, marking Britain’s first major battle of World War I. In this episode, we dive into the Battle of Mons, where outdated tactics collided with modern warfare, myths were born, and soldiers fought against overwhelming odds. From rapid rifle fire that stunned the Germans to the legendary “Angels of Mons,” we explore what really happened, why it mattered, and how this early battle set the tone for a devastating global conflict.
