Thanks very much for this extra information,
I know the 1st Lincs casualty roll for 23/24th August was around 130 killed and wounded with many of the wounded being captured. The 4th Middlesex had casualties of around 400 I think defending the canal with the Royal Fusiliers. I think that in the retreat from Mons when the Germans broke off their main advance the Lincs were the rear battalion of the Brigade hence rear guard action. I am away but have a look at my books when home.
I will send a PM, many thanks Dean.
