BELGIUM - Battle of the Yser - World War I - Nieuwpoort & Diksmuide - Yser River

Description: BELGIUM - Battle of the Yser - World War I - Nieuwpoort & Diksmuide - Yser River: The Battle of the Yser (French: Bataille de l'Yser, Dutch: Slag om de Ijzer) was a battle of the First World War that took place in October 1914 between the towns of Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide, along a 35 km (22 mi) stretch of the Yser River and the Yperlee Canal, in Belgium. The front line was held by a large Belgian force, which halted the German advance in a costly defensive battle. The victory at the Yser allowed Belgium to retain a small strip of territory, with Germany in control of 95 per cent of Belgian territory, which made King Albert a Belgian national hero, sustained national pride and provided a venue for commemorations of heroic sacrifice for the next hundred years. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition but there is some edge wear.
