	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 Yser front began to stabilize as the flooding prevented the Germans from launching further assaults and the thrust of the German attacks began to focus on Ypres and the British forces there.
		Following the battle of Yser, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of Grenadiers were once again reunited into a single regiment due to the enormous losses sustained by both in the course of the battles leading to the end of the battle of Yser.

	Battles Of Ypres And The Yser - LoveToKnow 1911
		Reserve Corps succeeded in throwing a temporary bridge over the Yser, in the bend N. of Tervaete, and in passing over to the western bank infantry and machine-guns, while their artillery were brought close up to the stream to cover the advance of strong reinforcements.
		The battle of the Yser, strictly speaking, was over, and the plan of the German Higher Command, to seize the Channel ports and envelop the Allied left flank, had failed thanks to the heroic resistance of the French and Belgian troops.
		The little river Steenbeke (or Jansbeke as it is called in its lowest reaches) joining the Yser near Merckem, creates together with its tributary streams, nearly all of which join it on the right bank, a feature that proved of considerable tactical importance during the prolonged operations that followed.

	Battle of the Yser - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Battle of the Yser secured the coastline of Belgium for the allies in the "Race to the Sea" in the first three months of World War I.
		Belgium had been invaded by Germany and the remnants of the Belgian Army pushed into the far south west of the country, behind a 22 miles front on the Yser Canal as the Germans tried to reach the French Channel ports of Calais and Dunkerque.
		The historical importance of the Battle of the Yser was not only the fact that the Germans did not manage to defeat the Belgian army, but also that through the horror of war, and through the experiences of ordinary foot soldiers, Flemish national consciousness started to grow in the then overwhelmingly Francophone Belgian society.

	Brave Little Belgium: the Belgian Army in 1914 > On the Yser
		Running through this flat land is the River Yser, which for much of its length had been made into a canal with towpaths on embankment dykes some 4 to 6 feet higher than the land.
		Overall then, while the Yser positions were such that they were unlikely to be attacked by surprise, they were unpleasant to occupy, difficult to maintain and supply, and in certain spots of extreme danger.
		His desperate act of flooding the Yser fields, and his staunch adherence to the position of neutrality and independence of the Allies had been the lynchpin of the military strategy on the left flank of the Western Front.

		Belgium had been invaded by Germany and after the Siege of Antwerp, the remnants of the Belgian Army were pushed into the far south west of the country, behind a 22 miles front on the Yser Canal as the Germans tried to reach the French Channel ports of Calais and Dunkerque.
		The attack broke through the Belgian second defense line but faced with Belgian and French counterattacks in front and the flooding in their backs, the attack was called off and the front stabilized.
		The historical importance of the Battle of the Yser was not only the fact that the Germans did not manage to defeat the Belgian Army but also lost the Race to the Sea.

		Inundations along small rivers are often the result of a short and intensive shower of rain, whereas inundations along bigger rivers, which can transport higher discharges in a shorter time, are often the result of long-term high precipitation values.
		The Yser basin, in the Flemish speaking part of Belgium, is bordered by France and the North Sea.
		The Yser is a typical river with a fluvial regime: the flows on the border with France can fluctuate from less than 500 galls/sec (2 m³/s) in dry periods to 26000 galls/sec (100 m³/s) in severe circumstances.

	Panorama de l'Yser
		After the war, Alfred Bastien painted a grand Panorama of the Yser Front in 19th century tradition, a project which he had been planning since 1914 and which, according to his own telling, had been suggested to him by King Albert in 1914.
		While the intent was to provide spectators with a sense of 'being there' on the Yser Front in person, the depiction of the landscape while extremely realistic in terms of style and detail, was not an actual view that could have been seen at any time during the war.
		The Panaorama not only depicted various battles and incidents from the Yser Front in Belgium in 1914 and 1915, but the central viewpoint from which spectators viewed the battlefield was also an imaginary place.

		His refusal to capitulate to the German threats in August of 1914 and his decision to actively defend Belgium's right to be neutral, as well as his conduct at the head of the Belgian Army during the subsequent German invasion earned the country worldwide respect and Albert ardent personal admiration.
		His decision to open the Nieuport floodgates at the Battle of the Yser prevented the Germans from forcing the Allied armies into the North Sea, and then taking Dunkerque and the Channel Ports.
		The small Belgian Army managed to hold the extreme left wing of the Allied line, the tiny section of Belgian territory between the Yser River and the French border, until the final Allied offensive of 1918, at the end of which they made a triumphal return entry into Brussels.
