Presumably there must be a document somewhere constituting the actual declaration of war. The closest thing in the current article is Asquith’s speech to the House of Commons several hours later, but that surely cannot be it. Grover cleveland (talk) 21:43, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
And see also Jagow's telegram to the German Ambassador in London, on the 4th, which was intercepted and given to Asquith, Grey, Haldane, Lloyd George, and McKenna shortly after 9pm "English Ambassador has just demanded his passport shortly after seven o'clock declaring war {signed) Jagow".
