DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Empire Review and Journal of British Trade, 1916, Vol. 29 WE are all unhappily only too familiar With the subject of my observations. This will exempt me from troubling my readers with too many details. I will, therefore, plunge in medias res, and I am quite sure they will understand Why I adopt this method of treatment. The Germans could have gone from their own country directly into France, but not so easily, they thought, as through Belgium. Consequently they made Belgium the door-mat for the German jack-boots, desolated that fair land, laying waste its countryside, burning its towns and villages, Slaying men, women, and children, and destroying the finest treasures of art and architecture. There is nothing more Wicked and Shameless in all the Records of War. Nor is there anything more heroic than the magnificent, though unequal, resistance of the Belgian King and the Belgian people.
