[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Indeed, but they also beat up the aguard, so moral victory.

The Prussians cannot claim a victory.....They were ordered to Saar Louis and failed in this objective and they then withdrew from the field of battle at the end of the day. .... French won.......

... but did not destroy XI Corps despite their qualitative and quantative advantages.

This battle is part of a campaign that is being fought both militarily and politically. (Will is using 'To the Last Gaiter Button' for the overall campaign).

The French were reacting to a German advance and have forced the Germans to retreat. However the campaign too date has been one of continual French victories (although it took three battles against superior numbers before the single German Corps involved was destroyed). Now the Germans have mobilised and the finest Corps in the French army has gone head-to-head with an ordinary German Corps and been underwhelming. I am confident that the author of the Ems Telegram with be able to present this as a contest that shows that backing Germany is the wise choice.
