The Marne (1965) By Georges Blond
 
At the end of August 1914 the three armies of the German northern wing swept south towards Paris. Expecting the German army to capture Paris, the French government departed for Bordeaux. Commander-in-Chief of the French forces, Joffre, ordered his men to retreat to a line along the River Seine, over 60km south of the Marne. The German forces were unable to break through the Allied lines and by 10th September, the battle was over. The French suffered around 250,000 casualties and the BEF lost 12,733 men.
