The Army Cavalry of the Sixth Army is stated on [p. 56] to have been eight divisions, among which, according to [p. 57], were the 3rd, 7th and Bavarian Cavalry Divisions, included above in the Army Cavalry of the Fourth Army.

It may be noted that in ‘Liège-Namur’ in the same series of General Staff Monographs the composition of the II Cavalry Corps is given as the 2nd, 4th and 9th Cavalry Divisions.

[3] There is a further mistake (see [footnote 110]): the King’s were not present at the place referred to, but in another part of the field. The honour of fighting the German Guards at one to eight, for the battalion was under four hundred strong, appears to belong to the 2nd Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry.

[4] The British advance was checked on the Aisne on 14th not 13th September.

[5] The Seventh Army was not put in on the extreme right wing but between the First and Third Armies after the heavy French attacks south of Laon in the middle of September.
