	The Legends and Traditions of the Great War: The Case of the Elusive Angel of Mons
		Mons lies in the center of an industrial mining area, and in fact, was the center of coal mining in Belgium.

		With an explanation of the narrow escape for the Tommies at Mons and a message of divine protection against future defeat, it was exceedingly useful for maintaining the physic stability of Britain's soldiers, citizens and leadership.

		While it is true that the British inflicted roughly 6-10,000 casualties upon the attacking Germans in return for 1,600 British lost, the fact is that the result of the battle was an immediate retreat by the BEF to avoid encirclement.
		Mons and the subsequent Le Cateau battle were delaying actions, not victories.
		To believe in the "miracle of Mons" or such, one must believe that the German offensive was destined to succeed had not the BEF interposed itself between them and Paris.

		At one point in the battle, the German field officers reported to First army commander Gen. von Kluck that all the British were using machine guns because the British were shooting so rapidly and inflicting so many casualties on the advancing Germans.

	Active Volcanism On Mars
		Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons and Ascraeus Mons, are gigantic volcano triplets of a youthful age with evidence of recent volcanism (Hartmann et al., 1999).
		In the present study, crater morphology and their state of erosion, combined with regional crater count age dating, is used to distinguish age relationships.
		Thus, for the valley system on the southwest side of Ascraeus Mons, Crumpler et al., (1996) state: "pits, pit chanis, and flank channels interpreted as flank vents and lava channels." The present author is in agreement with the channels and ring-shaped features being the locus of volcanic extrusions.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Miracle of Mons
		This was not the stagnant trench warfare of the later years of the conflict: in the early months of the war the armies were free flowing and far more reliant upon manoeuvre.
		While no official record exists of gas being used by the British against the Germans at Mons, it is quite possible that small, isolated releases of mustard gas may have been used by individual British officers in the field without authorisation, as a means to turn back the German onslaught.
		Whatever really took place that day - be it fabrication, hallucination, environmental phenomenon, or a combination of all three - the real value of the story was in the boost it gave to the troops and general public ahead of the horrors to come at Ypres, Passchendale and the Somme.
