First Ypres
19 Oct-22 Nov 1914 — The last open-field battle in the west: the BEF’s pre-war regulars stop the final German drive for the Channel ports, and are nearly annihilated doing it. The line from the sea to Switzerland is now continuous.
This is one scene of Chapter 3 — The Trench in The Great War, 1914–1918.
