Peter Bennett Posted 1 September , 2006 Share Posted 1 September , 2006 Did you also visit the men buried at Verberie ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndon Posted 1 September , 2006 Author Share Posted 1 September , 2006 Did you also visit the men buried at Verberie ? Unfortunately No! We went off to follow the actions of the 4th Guards brigade at Soupir and La Cour Soupir. Before we left Nery, we have a great discussion about the about the position of L battery during the action. The weather was dreadful, so I was unable to take any more photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andigger Posted 1 September , 2006 Share Posted 1 September , 2006 "the affair at Nery" - ok obviously this is a British memorial, but you must admit that the action (much better word, I think) was a bit more than an affair. Great pics though, I would definitely want to make it myself some day. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 1 September , 2006 Share Posted 1 September , 2006 Lyndon-Thanks for posting the pictures - hope to get there one day myself. Andigger - I think that is referred to as "The affair at Nery" as there were several related "actions" on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul guthrie Posted 1 September , 2006 Share Posted 1 September , 2006 I will be there next May as WFA USA does Mons & retreat before Argonne and St Mihiel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andigger Posted 1 September , 2006 Share Posted 1 September , 2006 What is an affair in this sense? It would seem that open warfare would be classified as an action whether it be a massive frontal assault or a couple of men from each side running into each other. Affair seems to suggest more intrigue. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 4 September , 2006 Share Posted 4 September , 2006 It is the way the language was used at the time. Affair in this context means a series of connected events. The action of L Battery RHA was only one of the actions, or series of engagements if you like, which took place on the day and subsequent day between the 4th Cavalry Division of the German Army and various British units.
