EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment of the retreating Belgian army passing through the Chausee de Bruxelles in Ghent during the early days of World War I. The invading German forces had pushed the Belgian army back towards the western coast of Belgium, and the soldiers are seen here wearily making their way through the city. The tram lines, once a vital mode of transport for both civilians and soldiers, now lie abandoned and disabled, their tracks twisted and broken under the weight of the military vehicles. The scene is one of chaos and desperation, with civilians scrambling to escape the advancing German forces. The soldiers, many of them young and inexperienced, carry their weapons and equipment, their faces etched with the strain of the long march ahead. The photograph offers a powerful reminder of the human cost of war, and the disruption and destruction it brings in its wake. Taken in 1914, this image is a poignant testament to the events of the First Great Retreat, a pivotal moment in the early history of World War I. The photograph is part of the rich historical record of this period, and offers a unique insight into the experiences of those caught up in the conflict.
