French Commander Joseph Joffre recovered from repulse at Mulhouse (10 August) and sent General Paul Pau into Lorraine southeast of Metz, with Auguste Dubail and Noel de Castelnau. As the French advanced on Sarrebourg and Morhange, German commanders Prince Rupprecht and Josias von Heeringen launched a devastating counter-attack and Pau fell back on Nancy.
