- The Siege and Fall
of Antwerp
- as Seen by a
British Magazine
- The Belgian army left behind a rubbage of military
material before crossing over the pontoon bridges.
- This derelict sight of the garbage of war was quite a
sight and was much photographed.
- The Germans saw in the pathetic sight a confirmation that
the Belgian Army was on its last legs.
- The Allies saw it as an exhibition of stubborn Belgian
determination to see things through
- to the bitter end, no matter what the cost.
