About this title

Synopsis

German raids on British shipping in the Channel were a constant problem for the Royal Navy and attempts were made to neutralize the threat from Belgian ports, including scuttling ships to block Zeebrugge harbour in 1918. This history reviews the activities of the MarineKorps Flandern during the war and the British responses, and contains a section of contemporary photographs.
