Battle of the Frontiers
Time: Saturday Aug 22, 1914
Place: Belgium and France
Details: The initial German advance in the West was very successful: by the end of August the Allied left, which included the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), was in full retreat; French casualties in the first month exceeded 260,000, including 27,000 killed on 22 August during the Battle of the Frontiers.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
