Doom over Antwerp - I Witness a Nation's Exodus, by J M N Jeffries | 4-6 October 1914 | Episode 39
Published on 4 October 1914
The utterly harrowing scenes which accompany the flight of a civilian population have never been more poignantly described than by Mr. Jeffries, who was representing his paper (The Daily Mail) in Antwerp during the city's last hours. In the words of a master journalist he tells of the final attacks of the Germans, of Mr. Winston Churchill's effort to save the city, and of the despairing trek to refuge of the remnants of a nation.
