The Skirmish at Joncherey: Prelude to World War I on the Western Front

The stage for the Skirmish at Joncherey was set against the backdrop of escalating tensions between France and Germany in the early 20th century. By the summer of 1914, Europe was a tinderbox waiting for a spark. This spark came in the form of Leutnant Albert Mayer and his small cavalry patrol.
