The Battle of Mons was the first major clash between the British and German troops in World War I, taking place 23 August 1914 near the city of Mons, Belgium. Though the British inflicted high casualties on the outnumbering German troops, they were eventually forced to retreat.[1] One of the fallen British soldiers was Private Arthur Harris, who had penned a letter days earlier detailing his experiences in Belgium and his eagerness to defeat the Germans.[2] Some of the surviving British soldiers claimed to have been saved by angelic figures that shielded the troops from enemy fire and guided them to safety.[3]
