And those who remained in the army are either high ranking NCOs, or Officers.
This was not some petty civil war fought in the frozen wastelands of Russia between a ragtag group of Marxist rebels and the Russian army. This was a war fought between the world's great powers. Nearly a month had passed since the July Crisis began, and the declarations of war had been made.

HE shells are less effective against proper armor than actual AP or APDS shells. Depending on the caliber of the French artillery, a direct hit from an HE shell may not necessarily take it out of commission.
And that was currently the role German armored cars played. Given sloped rolled homogeneous armor, a 20mm auto-cannon as a primary weapon, a max speed of 90 km/h on roads, along with both camouflage paint and netting, these motorized reconnaissance units would require a direct hit from an artillery piece to be damaged by the French forces.

Age of Majority is the legal term for adulthood...
After thinking this, Bruno left the corridor and entered the grand hall of his family's manor, where he saw his brother Ludwig and his parents waiting patiently for his arrival. Ludwig was the only other of their children who had not yet reached the age of majority and moved out after marrying their fiancée. Kurt and all of Bruno's other siblings would meet them at the venue.

Yes but France ultimately declared war on Germany in support of their Russian Allies. Had France not done so, and it was merely Russia/Serbia vs Germany/Austro-Hungary, then it would not have been a world war. It would have been a regional conflict with an overwhelming German/Austro-Hungarian victory. That was kind of my point.
Culminating in their declaration of war against the German Reich in 1914, as well as the imposing of the abominable treaty of Versailles in 18, which due to the punitive actions taken against the German Empire, for literally no reason other than French pettiness, ended up being a direct cause for the Second World War a mere two decades after the fact.
