The Belgian Front and Its Notable Features

This work is a meticulous account of the Belgian Front and its features during the Battle of the Yser, that took place in October 1914 between the towns of Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide. The front line was held by a massive Belgian force, which halted the German advance in a costly defensive battle. Captain Breton described the most notable elements of the Belgian Army's remarkable feat. The work contains descriptions of the tasks before the Belgian Army, the Belgian Army's Activities since the battle of Yser, a general review of the works constructed, main defensive works and many other details. The Belgian Front, during that period, was considered the worst part of the battle line as it ran through flooded plains and swamps.
