ABSTRACT
Broadstairs was occupied next, and then detachments marched westwards and seized Herne Bay, Whitstable, and Tankerton. By sunset the First German Army Corps, under Prince Eitel Charles, had fixed its teeth well into the southeast corner of England. Two divisions of the Second Corps were also established along the strip of coast extending from Ramsgate to Dover. Here the landing met with but little opposition. A continual stream of transports passed backwards and forwards between the coasts of England and France, bringing more soldiers, horses, and guns. The Germans were settling down like a cloud of locusts on the shores of England.
