Begbie strongly defended the reality of the alleged apparition of the Angels of Mons and attacked Arthur Machen for claiming they derived from his story "The Bowmen".
A letter from Charteris, dated 5 September 1914, noted "the story of the Angels of Mons is going strong through the 2nd Corps".

If authentic, this reference would pre-date Arthur Machen's The Bowmen—widely held to be the source of the Angels of Mons legend.
