	Dixmude - LoveToKnow 1911
		"DIXMUDE, or in Flemish Dixmuyde, a town in the province of West Flanders, Belgium, on the right bank of the Yser, with a pop.
		Dixmude constituted in effect one of the principal points of passage of the Yser and, at the end of Oct. 1914, a force of 5,000 Belgians and a brigade of French marines under Admiral Ronarch successfully resisted the desperate efforts of the Germans to seize the town.
		The town held out until Nov. 10, by which date, by damming the lower reaches of the Yser and opening the sluices between Dixmude and Nieuport, a large flooded area was placed between the two armies.

		The centre of the Belgian army was the object of violent and repeated attacks.
		This was the sixth time that the German army had attacked Dixmude within a week, and at each of these repeated assaults there were frightful hand-to-hand combats and hecatombs of dead; and each time our valiant soldiers remained masters of the field.
		The area conquered by the Germans on the 23rd, lying within the bend of the Yser between Schoorbakke and Tervaete, was violently bombarded and recaptured.

		On the first, in the summer of 1948, she took out two fighter groups equipped with the American built Bell P 63A "Kingcobra." On the second, in the summer and fall of 1950, she carried Grumman F6F 5 "Hellcat" fighters and Curtiss SB2C 5 "Helldiver" dive bombers.
		Subsequently rated as a Transport d'Aviation, Dixmude apparently spent the rest of her active career under the tricolor as a ferry for aircraft.
		Dixmude was returned to the United States on 19 January 1951 but was retransferred to France as a grant in aid on the same day.

	Dixmude
		At Dixmude, under command of their own officers, retaining not only the costume, but the soul and language of their profession they were still sailors.
		Dixmude was but one panel of the triptych: on the broken apex of the fl capital of the Communiers, on the livid backgrounds of the flat country about Nieuport, twice again did the brigade inscribe its stormy silhouette.
		But at Ypres and Saint Georges the sailors had the bulk of the Anglo-French forces behind them; at Dixmude up to November 4 they knew that their enterprise was a forlorn hope.

	First World War.com - The Western Front Today - Dixmude Trenches of Death
		Located in Dixmude the 'Trenches of Death' comprise preserved trenches featuring galleries, shelters, firesteps, chicanes, concrete duckboards and concrete sandbags.
		Together they give a fair impression of the makeup of trenches during the First World War - that is, notably leaving aside the quiet, serene nature of the trenches as they appear today.
		The Dixmude trenches were in fact held by the Belgians for over four years during the Battles of the Yser against determined German forces (often ranged just 100 yards away), hence their grim name.

		In December 1923, with a crew of 50, the Dixmude left her base at Cuers-Pierrefou for a 72-hour flight over North Africa.
		Thence the Dixmude's trail sprawled octopus-like with conflicting "eyewitness" reports.
		But tribesmen have insisted that on the sixth day after the storm they saw the Dixmude, obviously out of control, drifting south over the centre of the Sahara.

	Dixmude
		Je me trouvais à Dixmude, lorsque le bombardement de cette ville eut atteint son maximum d'intensité et qu'une pluie de grenades et de shrapnells se répandit dans les rues désertes.
		Enfin nous arrivâmes à Dixmude, but de notre voyage.
		Dixmude tout entière paraissait être la proie des flammes.

	2nd Grenadiers, 1914-1918
		By mid October, the 2nd Grenadiers had taken up positions east of the Yser River and canal at the village of Ramskapelle, between the cities of Nieuport and Dixmude.
		The 2nd Grenadiers, along with the 14th Line Regiment formed the defense of the village of Ramskapelle while engineers began the process of opening the dikes and sluice gates on the Yser River to flood the plains between Nieuport and Dixmude.
		Though the attacks were repelled by the Grenadiers, other Belgian forces, and a contingent of French Marines occupying the area, the casualties were high and a withdrawal eminent.
