Perth Digger Posted 16 January , 2019 Share Posted 16 January , 2019 Can anyone please tell me where the BEF's administrative Base (the DAG's 3rd Echelon etc) was situated during the retreat from Mons? Was the original plan for it to be in Rouen, or was it travelling around in August 1914, scrambling to keep in touch with the BEF?

Ron Clifton Posted 16 January , 2019 Share Posted 16 January , 2019 I believe that it was always based at Rouen, apart from a short period in September to mid October 1914. It did not have to follow GHQ around. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth Digger Posted 16 January , 2019 Author Share Posted 16 January , 2019 HI Ron Many thanks. I remember reading somewhere that they had moved at some point and went to Rouen. Maybe it was that they returned to Rouen that I read. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
