Summary "Brave Belgians" by Camille Buffin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It chronicles the extraordinary acts of bravery and sacrifice by Belgian soldiers during the early days of World War I, emphasizing their determined resistance against invading German forces. The narrative is drawn from firsthand accounts of various soldiers, showcasing both individual and collective valor in the face of overwhelming odds. At the start of this compelling chronicle, the author introduces the crucial defense of the Visé and Argenteau bridges as the German Army begins its incursion into Belgium. Through the eyes of Deputy Staff Major Collyns, readers witness the strategic measures and challenges faced by a small contingent of Belgian troops as they prepare for an imminent assault. The opening sets a vivid scene of camaraderie, determination, and the harsh realities of war, highlighting the soldiers' commitment to their homeland and the sheer tenacity required to counter the might of a much larger enemy.
