August 14 - Battle of Lorraine

The Battle of Lorraine
The French launch the "Battle of Lorraine" during the "Battle of the Frontiers".

The 1st Army attacks Sarrebourg, and the 2nd Army attacks Morhange.

Both armies plan to advance into Germany, but the attacks result in a German counter-offensive which effectively ends in a German victory by 25 August.











War credit amounting to £40,000,000 is authorised by the French Government.

The Bank of England issues 10 shilling notes to complement its recently issued £1 notes (see August 7)
