The Telegraph was able to parade something of a scoop today, with our special correspondent Granville Fortescue giving a first-hand account of his experiences in Liège as the Germans attacked – page 7. It generated another of the paper’s curious uses of language as a headline on the page, as his report is bizarrely labelled as a “picturesque narrative,” and rather curiously a follow-up article from Fortescue on the battle is placed over the page on page 8.
