A fair picture of the situation throughout August 1914.





And the war in the East.



A far better set of maps - maybe the best there are - are available in the book The Historical Atlas of World War I, by Anthony Livesey. It is copyrighted material, and not available on the web, so if you want to see them you'll have to buy the book. I highly recommend it, as I believe it is the best atlas of its kind available.

In the UK it is available in its original format as The Viking Atlas of World War I.

If it looks like something you might want, be sure to use the link at the top right of the page, and Onkel Neal will get a cut at no extra cost to you.

SMS Karlsruhe captures SS Strathroy, carrying 5,000 tons of prime Welsh coal. A prize crew takes the prize to join Karlsruhe's three colliers at Rocas.
