Allies recapture Ostend and refugees return to Antwerp
War report from Amsterdam notes large refugee returns to Antwerp while London posts say Ostend has fallen back under Allied control. Canada plans 30 000 troops in training with units of 10 000, while 33 000 volunteers are on Salisbury Plain and 30 000 more ready. British reports describe Aisne battles, losses, and redeployments as shells fly and bodies fall, with 100 men of the 106th regaining Winnipeg, and British ships attacking German torpedo boat destroyers off the Dutch coast.
