The Battle of Mons was the first major
battle of World War I.
There was a
story about Angel of Mons which is undoubtedly the most enduring supernatural
legend of the First World War. The phenomenon was experienced by
British troops retreating in the aftermath of the Battle of Mons on the Western Front in
August 1914. Numerous soldiers claimed to have seen visions in the sky
of St. George surrounded by angels, horsemen and cavalry.
