The Defence of Lierre
This picture was taken just after the fall of the Belgian town of Lierre, which is 15 miles from Antwerp and shows Royal Marines who having blown up the bridge across the River Nethe are pulling down anything that could afford the enemy cover. On the other side of the bridge Marines await the attack. The houses overlooking the bridge and the river were destroyed as the Germans were sniping through the windows. The small group of Marines trapped on the far bank succeded in escaping by crossing the river in small boats. Circa October 2nd 1914 Published Daily Mirror Page 12 October 12th 1914
