The writer considers that "the task,
set for the Fourth. Army would pro
bably have been achieved in spite of
its very difficult nature if the Bel-
gians at the moment of their great-
est peril had not called the sea to
their aid."But he admits later that
this act wee not decisive, as there
3vere possibilities further south, and
says:
"The failure of a reserve division
of the Twenty-third Reserve Corps to
gain a decisive victory between Bix
sehoote and Langemarele on October
22 and 23 settled also the fate of the
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh;
Reserve Corps (further south). Any
further thought to break through was
at the time out of the question."
