This was a straight retelling of the angels that appeared at the battle of Agincourt between the French and English. The press reporter admitted that he himself made the story up about the angel of Mons. The story took of so much in Britain that some people wanted to believe it and it made great propaganda angels on the side of the gallant British repelling the invading Germans. Never let reality get in the way if a good story.

Publishers: Who were your sources?
Machen: There are no sources, because I made it up.
Publishers: Right, right, but who told you about the angels?
Machen: Here's what happened, I heard about Mons, thought Man, it's a miracle that anyone survived that! and it was a cool story idea. Okay?
Publishers: Right, but the soldiers did see angels, right?
Machen: JFC.

I hope is the same angel of 3 Abrahimic religion are to believe it. Because I am Muslim. Firstly I was skeptical in this story about angels helped soldiers. I believe it is God intervention for save them from the danger and no matter is your religion to believe. God save good peoples.

There is no story more boring than a story about the lack of a story. I opine that Weird History has failed to provide quality info-tainment with this one. Granted, it may be history, and it might be weird, but this one is a bit of a stretch.

We may never know the truth but let's not be delusional, OK? Is it a coincidence they were Christians and they saw Angels? I don't think so. Why didn't they claim they saw, I don't know, Griffins or Minotaurs?

I lived in Mons for 4 months and i never heard of this battle or the angels while i was there. But Mons does have a beautiful bell tower, Le Beffroi, that would have made for a nice vantage point to see the battle.

Well simple history actually explains why they wouldnt of used this as a moral booster and why they wouldnt of been delusional/sleep deprived to the point where theyre seeing things.

I talked to a Vietnam vet whom told me he saw an Angel in an intense battle. He had this Calm about him. Like he was touched.

The story was reported as fact not fiction. A newspaper reporter had to have real verified sources of information.
