October 30, 1914
The small battles for villages along the ridge at Ypres results in many places being taken, lost and retaken many times by both sides. In the end, winter will come and force an end to the carnage. Both sides will declare victory and with some justification. The Allies have successfully stood between the Axis and the channel. The Germans have maintained and improved their grip on most of Belgium. Germany has lost 100,000 men, the Allies a similar number. Winter forces both sides to form makeshift defenses where they can nervously await spring.
