The final phase of the battle to free the approaches to the Belgium Port of Antwerp. Began on , when the Royal Marine Commandos landed at dawn at Westkapelle. The Western most point on 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 this bridgehead the Commandos pushed North and South the next day, along the Oyke beside the sea to Domdurb 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.
