|Lords, the Long Room was given over to the club’s ground staff who set |
|about tasks such as weaving nets for military horses feed. At the same |
|time the Nursery Ground became a makeshift goose farm, whilst in 1914 the|
|ground was used as a training ground for the Army Service Corps. |
| |
|On this day (23rd August) |

|the first battle fought by the British army against the | |
|Germans on the Western Front in the Great War. | |
|Four divisions of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) | |
|struggled with the German 1st Army over the 60 foot wide | |
|Mons Canal in Belgium, near the French frontier. | |
|Although the British fought well, they were heavily | |
|outnumbered by the Germans and were forced to retreat. | |
