HER HOME IN A FREIGHT CAR
Before Antwerp fell, the Belgian government sent all available
freight cars into; Holland, where they are used in housing Belgian
refugees.
ARRIVAL OF BELGIAN REFUGEES IN ROSENDAAL, HOLLAND
WhenAntwerp fellN!the Belgians were forced to flee to Holland. They arrived in droves at Rosendaal like an American crowd on circus day in some small town. The
figure speech is expressive of their numbers only for, unlike the circus crowd, they were sad, a homeless band of countryless people who know not what fate holds in store
for them. It is stated that more than 750,000 Belgian refugees reached Rosendaal within 48 hours.
