The country was difficult and the fighting stiff, but by nightfall on the 19th the Germans had been driven across the Oise and Sambre canal at all points south of Catillon, and on the 20th the Third and part of the First armies took up the struggle on the Selle north of Le Cateau.
The French observed on this occasion with well-merited scorn: "The allies are ever an idea, a year and an army behindhand."
