by Arthur Machen (Author)

"The Angels of Mons" is a short story written by Arthur Machen, originally published in 1915. The story is known for its unique blend of supernatural elements and war fiction, and it gained considerable popularity during World War I.


The narrative is framed as a series of letters exchanged between two characters, one of whom recounts a fantastical event during the Battle of Mons in August 1914. According to the narrator, British soldiers were aided by a mysterious, divine intervention that took the form of angelic beings. These supernatural entities allegedly protected the British forces and turned the tide of the battle in their favor.


Machen's story contributed to the creation of a legend that suggested the appearance of angelic or supernatural forces on the battlefield, providing hope and inspiration to the soldiers. However, it's essential to note that "The Angels of Mons" is a work of fiction, and the events described are not based on historical facts.


The tale became so influential that it led to rumors and misconceptions, with some people believing that the events described by Machen were true accounts rather than fictional elements. The story reflects the psychological and emotional impact of war, as well as the human tendency to find solace and inspiration in supernatural or divine intervention during times of crisis.
