	Battle of the Yser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

	First World War.com - Primary Documents - The Battle of the Yser by Erich von Falkenhayn, October 1914
		The coast on which the right flank was to rest, and from which it was hoped to obstruct England's Channel traffic, effectively attack the Island itself, and turn the French flank, was not reached.
		Strong French and English forces had already reached the Yser during the first ten days of October - the English had been withdrawn altogether from the old front near Rheims - and were trying to get into touch on the eastern bank with the Belgian divisions which were retreating from Antwerp.
		He was thrown back almost everywhere either to, or across, the Yser, and a firm connection was established between the coast at Nieuport and the previous German right wing near Lille, thus forming a front from the Swiss frontier to the sea.

	"Brave Little Belgium" The battle of the Yser

		The weak points in their front were the bridges over the Yser at - from north to south - St Joris, Schoorbakke and Tervate.

		Now Calais is over forty miles from the Yser, and one may imagine the suffering that some of our brave fellows endured in the course of this long and difficult journey.
