It’s 1914.
13
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,600
War is raging in Europe.
14
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:35,520
Early on in the conflict the
King of Belgium, Albert I
15
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,680
refused to allow the Germans
passage through the country
16
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,400
in order to attack France...
17
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,880
The Germans responded
by invading Belgium.
18
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,960
The King stood
shoulder to shoulder
19
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,280
with his men at the front.
20
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,400
Even his son, Prince Leopold,
21
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,120
enlisted at the age of 12 as a
private to fight for Belgium.
22
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,440
When Albert took command
of the Belgium forces
23
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,760
he held off the Germans
24
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,600
buying essential time for
the French and the British...
25
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,640
But the price was severe.
26
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,440
Repeatedly pushed back, the
remaining army are exhausted,
27
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,840
with minimal ammunition
28
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,560
and weapons that have
seen better days.
29
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,960
Now, in October 1914,
30
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,480
the Belgians have lost
95% of their land
31
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:19,400
and are just hanging
on to a tiny strip

near the Yser River.

water level is so high,
34
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,160
the defenders are demoralised
and pushed back from the river.
35
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,360
By the 26th of October,
36
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,840
the battered Belgians
consider withdrawal.
37
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,120
But King Albert refuses.
38
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,800

has to be made.
