image: A view looking down a trench surrounded by a flooded landscape. The trench is protected by sandbags and it is
raining.
In order to halt the German advance during the Battle of the Yser, the Belgian High Command ordered the locks to be
opened so that sea water gradually flooded the ground occupied by the German lines. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | 01/3(4-15) Landscape Western Front trench / defences Natural phenomena / time / weather First World War | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Nevinson, C R W (ARA) | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
