For their encouragement during the writing of this book, I am much indebted to my family and friends. As always, Rupert Harding and the team at Pen and Sword Books have been unfailingly helpful and supportive, and I am grateful to Sarah Cook for all her work in editing the book. I am grateful also to the staff at Hertfordshire County Library Services, the British Library, the National Archives at Kew, the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek at Leipzig, the Bibliothque nationale de France at Paris, and the Service historique de la dfense at Vincennes.
I am much obliged to Pascale Belouis of the Syndicat dInitiative de Gagny for information about the taxis plaque, and to Daniel Patillet, who kindly permitted me to quote from the remarkable eyewitness account of his grandfather, Caporal Henri Bury of the 276e rgiment. (Burys account can be found online at: www.padage.free.fr .) I also wish to thank Philippe Braquet for welcoming me to his museum at Villeroy, the Surs Oblates de St Franois de Sales for their kindness in letting me visit the Maison du pre Brisson at Plancy, Jacques Ferrenbach for showing me inside Neufmontiers church, the maire of Norme for opening its church for me, and the many inhabitants throughout the battlefield area for their more general helpfulness.
What follows is a selection of the most interesting books about the battle. For reasons of space, only a handful of regimental histories have been mentioned, but many others, both British and German, contain a wealth of information. Histories of French regiments rarely go into much detail, but the unit war diaries, or journaux des marches et operations, are often useful and can be consulted on the Mmoire des hommes website (page 208).
Battlefield guides
Guidebooks devoted specifically to the battlefield are almost nonexistent. The obvious exception is the Michelin guide, Battle-fields of the Marne, 1914, first published in 1917, yet it ignores the British actions. In 2011 Michelin published a French-language guide, Les champs de bataille: la Marne et la Champagne, which does cover some of the BEFs operations but omits part of Fochs sector. Details of the BEFs actions can be found in the British War Offices Battle of the Marne, 8th 10th September, 1914 : tour of the battlefield, published in 1935.
