Notes

↑ No Separate Peace agreement singed on behalf of Britain, France and Russia by Sir Edward Grey, M. Cambon, and Count Beckendorff respectively. All parties mutually engage not to conclude peace separately during the war, and when peace terms are discussed, no one of the Allies will demand peace without previous agreement of each of the other two.

Sources: Various material contemporary with the war have been used to compile The Great War On This Day and its associated Index.

Text has been transcribed from two out-of-copyright sources: Chronology of the War (1918-1920), and History of the Great War – Principle Events 1914-1918 (1922). Spelling of place names are original to British use at the time. Some typos have been altered or corrected for consistency. Duplicate or identical events between these sources have been amalgamated; as a result the date and wording may differ to the original texts.

Advisory note: The information in these sources may not accurately represent up-to-date histories, present-day spelling of place names, or geographical boundaries. In some instances the language used may appear sexist or derogatory to the modern reader, and in rare cases, images may depict distressing scenes.
