The Battle of Charleroi 14 and French 18e Corps

[Volcano Man]

Hmm, well, for all my blathering above, I think that I see areas where I can make an improvement on the 18e CA's disposition. I was never really totally satisfied with how they are currently represented because of all the incomplete data and contradicting sources (as mentioned above). Once FM WarB brought the topic up again, I remembered intimately what I went through looking for data on that corps -- a seriously traumatic investigative experience at the time.

Anyway, I kept scratching around in my sources and found that I *might* have made a mistake translating some French sources and mixed up a date. Anyway, I will have a further review of it but it looks like, at the moment at least, that it probably makes sense that on the morning of the 22nd this corps should be spread out from Thuin to Beaumont to Solre-le-Chateau. So, maybe something good might come from it in the first update IF in fact I think I made a translation error. :) (One source I have are some French accounts of Sordet's CdC since it states when they were relieved along the Sambre and by whom - that will definitely reveal the answer).

As a side note, I definitely won't devote this much time to reviewing every question made in the forum in the future, but this particular topic happened to be, like I said, something I went round and round with on several occasions.
