Last sentence 1st paragraph: 'At the time, they were known as "The Contemptible Little Army" by the Imperial German Army.' But: 'The Kaiser it was said, had referred to the British troops as "a contemptible little army". It is now known that the phrase emanated not from the German side, but from the closets of British propagandists, who needed something memorable and incisive to inspire the troops. The phrase was actually devised at the War Office by Sir Frederick Maurice and fathered upon the Kaiser.' Pg 116, The Great War and Modern Memory, Paul Fussell, Oxford University Press, 1975, 2000.
