The Belgians pledged themselves to a
stout rear-guard action, while the
British were evacuated. This they
did until on May q the Belgian Army,
with its munitions depleted and
wounded and dying men filling its
hospitals, was unable to fight longer.
King Leopold sent an emissary to the
German high command to ask condi-
tons of surrender. The cease fire
came at am. the next day.
The documents make clear that the
Pierlot government, which Leopold
had refused to join in flight from the
country, judged the Belgian King
commander without full knowledge
OF the facts and that Leopold entered
into no treaty or agreement with the
conquering Germans, but merely
ordered cessation of hostilities, which
was within his prerogative as military
chief. He had refused to leave his
troops and became prisoner of war.
Many more gaps need to be filled
in the story of the battle of Flanders,
but Americans may be indebted to
the Hoover group for bringing to light
some of the facts of the surrender of
Belgium.
