'The War Budget'

a British working class magazine

Some 8000 men of the British Naval Brigade were sent to Antwerp in the hopes of

strengthening defences but above all to unnerve German resolve.

Much was made in the British press of the arrival of the Naval Brigade in Antwerp

The Naval Brigade was rushed to the front around Lierre and Duffel

in the hopes it would halt the German offensive in that sector.
