The Yser Front – The Belgian Front During the First World War

Learn about the Yser Front (1914 – 1918) in Belgium during the First World War. Belgian King Albert I led the defence of his country during the German invasion of Belgium (1914). At the Yser, near Diksmuide, his troops were ordered to stand fast against the German attack. By inundating the land Albert I created a water barrier between him and the Central Powers. The Battle of Yser (1914) resulted in a stalemate for years to come. Recorded near the Trench of Death (Dodengang) near Diksmuide, Flandres, Belgium.
