2.00 P.M.: Asquith and Grey telegram Goschen asking

Posted on August 4th, 1914 by admin

2.00 P.M.: Asquith and Grey telegram Goschen asking for a reply to the message sent to him at 9.30 A.M. If Germany does not reply by midnight he is instructed to “ask for your passports and to say that His Majesty’s Government feel bound to take all steps in their power to uphold the neutrality of Belgium”. Britain’s request is now an ultimatum.
