Evening all

I have been reading up on Mons prior to a visit next month. The books I have read all show the Division facing 9th Brigade and several appear to suggest that 11th Brigade attacked in the direction of the RSF at Jemappes. This would appear to suggest therefore that it was 12th Brigade that was approaching the Mariette Bridge and the Northumberland Fusiliers, my particular interest.Can anyone confirm this and give an idea of the casualties suffered by the two regiments of the Brigade - IR24 and IR64? I have tried a few German website but have not been able to reconcile a number yet.
