Image description

The final phase of the battle to free the approches to the Belgian port of Antwerp began on November 1, when Royal Marine Commandos landed at dawn at Westkapelle. The western most point of the island of Walcheren. By dusk the town had been captured and a bridgehead 3,000 yards long to the South had been established. From the bridgehead the Commandos pushed North and South the next day, along the dyke beside the sea to Domburg and Zoutelande. Gradually they are knocking out the big guns which threatened the Scheldt shipping. Picture shows: The approach to the island was made in the face of the German shore batteries and there were some casualties. A rescue landing craft goes to the aid of a burning craft hit by enemy shells above the water line.
