  • Description:
    English: DUKWs or "Ducks" head towards the shore from a landing craft tank (LCT 952) whilst an Alligator personnel carrier can be seen on the beach. A large plume of smoke is rising high into the air from an enemy strongpoint on fire in the background during the landing by Royal Marine commandos on the island of Walcheren at Westkapelle, the most western point of the island, the final phase of the battle to free the Belgian port of Antwerp. 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 dyke beside the sea to Domburg and Zoutelande. Gradually they knocked out the big guns which threatened the Scheldt shipping. 1 November 1944
