	First World War.com - Battles - The First Battle of the Aisne, 1914
		The First Battle of the Aisne was a follow-up offensive by the Allied forces against the right wing of the German First and Second armies (under von Kluck and von Bulow) in retreat after September 1914's First Battle of the Marne.
		As it was, the progress of the Allied forces, British and French, was slow, owing to fatigue and to caution.
		Instead, both forces attempted to manoeuvre past the other in a northwards movement, in the so-called 'race to the sea', begun by French Commander-in-Chief Joseph Joffre, moving his forces north-west so as to attack the exposed German right flank at Noyon (the First Battle of Albert).

		Upon their arrival on 13 September, the French 5th (led by Louis Franchet d'Esperey) and 6th (led by Michel-Joseph Maunoury) armies, aided by the BEF (led by Sir John French), launched an assault.

	The Battle of the Aisne
		When the fighting on the Aisne had died down, the phase later incorrectly known as 'The Race to the Sea' began, as both Allies and Germans sought ways to find an open flank to the north, and equally both sides dug in as the lines extended northward.
		On the north bank of the wide, sluggish Aisne is a continuous steep slope, along the top of which runs an ancient road known as the Chemin des Dames.
		The Aisne was, for the British, a case of sending infantry in small groups up the slopes in an attempted frontal attack on strong German defences.

		On the morning of Sunday, the 13th, no less an undertaking than the crossing of the Aisne was to fall to the lot of the cavalry.
		Our passage of the Aisne and our pressing forward to Vendresse and up to the Chemin des Dames, a great east-and-west highway beyond, was so important a move, and bore such prospect of result, that it was but natural we should be in ardent expectation of a sight of the Rhine within the near future.
		We knew the French were across the Aisne on our right and we were expected to advance to a new line from Laon, due north from Bourg, to Fresnes, which lies practically due north from Soissons.

		Whether it was originally intended by them to defend the position they took up as strenuously a they have done, or whether the delay, gained for them during the 12th and 13th by their artillery, has enabled them to develop their resistance and force their line to an extent not originally contemplated cannot be said.
		On Monday, the 14th, those of our troops which had on the previous day crossed the Aisne, after driving in the German rear guards on that evening, found portions of the enemy's forces in prepared defensive positions on the right bank and could do little more than secure a footing north of the river.
		On Sunday, the 20th, nothing of importance occurred until the afternoon, when there was a break in the clouds and an interval of feeble sunshine, which was hardly powerful enough to warm the soaking troops.

	History of the Seventy Seventh Division phase 5 From the Vesle to the Aisne
		Safe across the Aisne, and with outposts on the narrow strip between the Aisne Canal and the river, the enemy made another stand in front of the fortifications running along the famous and many times fought-over Chemin des Dames.
		His heavy pieces were already across the Aisne, and were for a few days silent, until they had been emplaced, when they sent a hail of heavy shells over the entire plateau.
		The Aisne itself, at this point, has a breadth of 150 feet, and a depth of about ten feet, and is bordered by flat meadows and fields, which are inundated when the river is high.

	AISNE OPERATION
		On May 27 the Germans began their offensive between the Aisne and the Marne, and within the next few days elements of the 3d Division, which had been placed at the disposal of the French, began their move toward Chateau-Thierry.
		The 7th Machine Gun Battalion was the first organization of the division to enter the lines, reaching the defenses of the bridgehead at Chateau-Thierry late in the afternoon of May 31, there reinforcing a battalion of the 10th Moroccan Division at a very critical moment.
		The story of the Aisne defensive and the succeeding operations might now be considered to have been completed save for the fact that the Medical Department was severely criticized and, in justice to all concerned, account must be taken of the criticisms and the investigation which followed.
