While small in numbers, the Belgian Army played a vital role in
World War 2 that is often overlooked. Germany's invasion of neutral
Belgium, which led Britain to declare war in August 1914, should
have been swift and fierce yet the unexpected heroic defence,
against great odds, of Belgian fortresses, frustrated the German
Schlieffen Plan for a thrust to Paris and a lightning victory. The
plucky Belgian resistance proved successful in buying time for
French and British troops to mobilize and report to the front,
where the Belgians would then go on to fight, stubbornly defending
the northern end of the Allied trench line for the rest of the war.
In this work, discover the story of this determined Army, from
their organization and commanders, to their uniforms and equipment.
The only main combatant army of World War I not previously covered
by Osprey, this volume will be an important addition to any
enthusiast's collection, accompanied by detailed artwork and
archive photographs.
