Aprašymas: Various views of town landmarks - some of them "wantonly" destroyed by German troops. The Stars and Stripes and the Blue Ensign fly before the Kursaal. The town appears almost deserted. The Palace Battery - camouflaged 9-inch guns in shallow pits. Long shot of monitors outside the harbour. Admiral MacGregor and his staff pose for the camera. Tirpitz Battery. Hulk of the Vindictive, and the grave of her captain. The burgomaster talks with Captain Wedgwood Benn. Final medium shot as a small crowd cheers for the camera, and waves Union Jacks and Tricolours.
The town of Ostend and abandoned German coastal guns, immediately after the Allied re-occupation in November 1918.
