On St George's Day - April 23rd, 1918 - Royal Marines stormed the German defences at the port of Zeebrugge on Belgium's North Sea coast. This audacious raid was the most spectacular event in the Allies' long World War 1 campaign against Germany's U-boats, and succeeded in sinking ships to block one of the vital channels through which they reached the sea.
