The Western most point of the island of Walcheren. By dusk the town had been captured and a bridgehead 3,000 yards long South had been established. From this bridgehead the Commandos pushed North and South the next day along the dyke beside the sea to Domburg and Zoutelande. Gradually they knocked out the big guns which treatened the Scheldt shipping.
