The first contact between the two armies occurred on 21 August, when a British bicycle reconnaissance team encountered a German unit near Obourg; and Private John Parr became the first British soldier to be killed in the war.　 The first substantial action occurred on the morning of 22 August. At 6:30 a.m., the 4th Dragoon Guards laid an ambush for a patrol of German lancers outside the village of Casteau, to the north-east of Mons. When the Germans spotted the trap and fell back, a troop of the dragoons, led by Captain Hornby gave chase, followed by the rest of his squadron, all with drawn sabres. The retreating Germans led the British to a larger force of lancers, whom they promptly charged and Captain Hornby became the first British soldier to kill an enemy in the Great War, fighting on horseback with sword against lance. After a further pursuit of a few miles, the Germans turned and fired upon the British cavalry, at which point the dragoons dismounted and opened fire. Drummer Edward Thomas is reputed to have fired the first shot of the war for the British Army, hitting a German trooper.

⇒英国軍の二輪車偵察チームがオブールの近くでドイツ部隊に遭遇した8月21日、2つの方面軍間の最初の接触が起こった。そして、ジョン・パー兵卒が、この戦争で死んだ最初の英国兵となった。

＞The first substantial action occurred on the morning of 22 August.

When the Germans spotted the trap and fell back, a troop of the dragoons, led by Captain Hornby gave chase, followed by the rest of his squadron, all with drawn sabres.
⇒最初の実質的行動は、8月22日の朝に起こった。午前6時30分、第４竜騎兵（銃を持った騎兵）の守備隊が、モンスの北東部カストの村外にドイツ軍の槍騎兵巡視員を待ち伏せる伏兵を置いた。ドイツ兵が罠を見つけてたじろいだとき、ホーンビー大尉の指揮下に一団の竜騎兵が追跡し、大隊の残り部隊がサーベルをかざしながら後に続いた。

⇒後退するドイツ兵は、英国兵をより大きな槍騎兵軍団まで引っぱって行ったので、すぐに突撃戦となり、ホーンビー大尉は第一次世界大戦で馬に乗って剣で槍と戦って敵を殺す、最初の英国兵になった。さらに2、3マイル追求した後、ドイツ軍は向き直って英国騎兵隊に発砲したので、その時点で竜騎兵は下馬して迎撃した。ドラマー・エドワード・トマス（という人）が、英国軍として本戦争で最初に発砲してドイツの兵隊を打った兵士と見られる。
