Troop Movements Near Dunkirk and Ostend Amid War Plans
Reports from Brussels and The Hague detail preparations by British and allied forces, including Duke of Ormonde’s orders to move battalions toward Dunkirk, and Villars signals causing postponement. Messages mention foreign officers, peace negotiations, hostages in Champagne, and danish Dutch letters. Meanwhile Paris dispatches speak of treasure ships and Saint George pensively plotting next moves. These items reflect the widening European conflict and shifting alliances as June ends.
