  • Text: Après plusieurs combats en Belgique, les alliés forcerent les Allemandes à battre en / retraite sur plusieurs points. Notamment entre Nieuport et Middleberghe. Les alliés pour-/ suivent l'ennemi sans relâche, les Allemandes se virent obligés de fuir devant l'énergique / offensive de ceux-ci. La retraite de l'armée allemande fut très difficile, elle se passa dans / un grand désordre, sous une trombe de fer dans des terrains inondés où leurs cannons / s'embourbaient, ils abandonnèrent matériel et blessés. (Du 23 au 28 Octobre 1914.)
