Through the Iron Bars is a poetic and factual description of the Belgian losses during World War I. Georgette Heyer writes her tale during the German occupation, resulting in an incredibly accurate personal account. Excerpt: «The English-speaking public is generally well informed concerning the part played in the war by the Belgian troops. The resistance of our small field army at Liège, before Antwerp, and on the Yser has been praised and is still being praised wherever the tale runs. This is easy enough to understand. The fact that those 100,000 men should have been able to hold so long in check the forces of the first military Empire in Europe, and that a great number of them, helped by new contingents of recruits and led by their young King, should still be fighting on their native soil, must appeal strongly to the imagination.»
