The Army of Alsace was a World War I French field army that operated from 11–28 August 1914. == Formation == On 7 Augustus 1914, the French VII Corps (General Bonneau) captured Mulhouse during the Battle of Mulhouse but three days later, they were forced out by German counter-attacks. Bonneau was dismissed by Joffre and the VII Corps was reinforced with several units and became ''the Army of the Alsace'' under command of Paul Pau. The reinforcements were * 44th Division * 55th Reserve Division * 58th Reserve division * 63rd Reserve division * 66th Reserve division * 8th Cavalry Division A new attack was launched, Mulhouse was taken and the Germans were even pushed over the Rhine. French defeats in Lorraine and the Ardennes forced the Army of the Alsace to withdrew from Mulhouse, to a more defensible line near Altkirch and to provide reinforcements for the French armies closer to Paris. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French Army of Alsace (WWI)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
