Belgian Army Rebuilt to Ten Divisions for Flanders War
The Belgian army, once 60 000 after the Yser, has grown to ten divisions of well trained troops ready to fight in Flanders. It improved from a lack of machine guns, artillery, munitions, and transport to expanded trench lines, railroads, and air capability. Belgium self supplied ammunition and equipment and asserts it holds a front longer than commonly believed, with allied support aiding reconstruction.
