Freedom Curtailed

The Angels of Mons World War I - 1914

People disclaim positive events like the Angels of
Mons saving British soldiers fighting for Western
ideals - human rights for ALL peoples - against a
regime that gave birth to Hitler’s racial campaign
against freedom – but are human rights not
worthy of special attention?

If we rejoice in the victory of our ideals against Hitler’s
dictatorial reign, why are claims of help received in
opposing him so controversial, why not promote the
IDEAL of FREEDOM as worthy of ALL kinds of
FREE intervention from ANY group known for
their integrity, material or spiritual?

The British, fighting with the Allies, fought Hitler’s
threat to reign supreme and consensus is that
his regime of imperialism and extermination of
various peoples was evil - but instead of
embracing accounts reinforcing the
Allies’ glory

In bearing a torch for freedom in nineteen four-
teen; instead of supporting claims that they
were entitled to divine intervention, people
try to disqualify special events, implying
the ideal of freedom is not worthy
of such happenings

With this attitude, it is no wonder
freedom is always curtailed…

At Mons in Belgium, 70,000 British troops guarded a canal
against a greater German force. On 23 August 1914 the
British beat off the German forces, but as their position
was untenable they retreated towards Paris.

The vulnerable British troops claimed they saw three
angelic figures in the sky warding off enemy attacks.

The story of the Angel at Mons spread through Britain
and became the subject of many articles and artistic
productions. Harold Begbie published a book, On the
Side of the Angels, in which he quoted
some witnesses.

Yet doubts about the true origin of the story will
continue even though the distinguished historian,
A. J. P. Taylor, fully believed that an angel had
appeared and aided British troops.

This is interesting. First I've heard of this. I've shared it with a friend who likes angels. There were a couple of angels in my dream the other night ... they were well dressed and drove a fast red car ...

I have never seen angels, but I feel them because I drive like a maniac and yet somehow accidents are prevented by another force. I try not to bore my angels to death so they fall asleep and lose me out of their sight, thus I am noisy - until I withdraw with a book!
