Let us now examine the French accounts of the period of the battle described above. The 2nd and 3rd French Corps observed movements on the part of the Germans at an early hour. This was reported to Marshal Bazaine at 10 o'clock, and the orders to the 3rd and 4th Corps as to the defensive measures they were to take were repeated.

On the other hand the 4th French Corps was evidently surprised, and according to Montluisant's account the 6th Corps also, by the attack of the Ixth Army Corps. That writer says: --'On the i8th also the 6th Corps possessed no information as to the position of the enemy, and the staff was so far from suspecting the approach of the Prussians that it looked on the first information sent from St. Marie aux Chenes, suggesting the probability of an early attack from Batilly and St. Ail, as unworthy of credence.' 1 Both these villages lay in the rear of the French position, and the fact suggests a fear on the part of the Marshal that it was threatened by the Germans. According to Frossard the fire...
