Description

Slaget ved Messines blev udkæmpet i oktober 1914 mellem hærene fra det tyske imperium og det britiske imperium samt Frankrig som en del af kapløbet mod havet, mellem floden Douve og Comines–Ypres-kanalen. Fra 17. september til 17. oktober havde de stridende parter gjort indbyrdes forsøg på at omringe deres modstanders nordlige flanke. Joseph Joffre, lederen af Grand Quartier Général, beordrede den franske Anden Hær til at bevæge sig nord for den 6. Hær ved at overføre dem med tog fra østlige Frankrig fra 2. til 9. september. Erich von Falkenhayn, leder af Oberste Heeresleitung, beordrede den tyske 6. Hær til at bevæge sig fra den tysk-franske grænse mod den nordlige flanke den 17. september. Dagen efter førte franske angreb nord for Aisne til, at Falkenhayn beordrede den 6. Hær til at tilbagevise de franske styrker for at sikre flanken.
