October 9 - Fall of Antwerp
Antwerp, under siege from German forces since 28 September, surrenders. The Germans occupy the city and some British and Belgian troops escape to Holland and are interned
for the duration of the war. The remaining troops from Antwerp withdraw to
the Yser river, close to the French border. Here they dig in, to begin the
defence of the last unoccupied part of Belgium.
