1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Battle of the Mons Pocket

The Battle of Mons, fought on 23 August 1914, was the first major action involving the British Expeditionary Force in the First World War. Vastly outnumbered by German forces, the BEF's trained riflemen delivered fire so rapid and accurate that German commanders initially reported facing machine guns. The "Mons Pocket" refers to the salient from which British troops conducted a fighting withdrawal — the opening move of the two-week Great Retreat to the Marne.
