September 19, 1914
A marine force of the British Royal Navy lands today at Dunkirk and with it comes the the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill. This action demonstrates the Churchill's concern of a possible occupation of the channel ports by Germany.
This shift of focus is to the north where Germany has been conducting a siege of the pivotal Belgian port city of Antwerp where the Belgians have been hanging on bravely. Both sides have been transferring troops in an attempt to exploit weaknesses of the other north of the River Aisne all the way to the English Channel.
