EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of Belgian soldiers from the 9th Mixed Brigade during the Battle of Liege in Belgium, which took place from 5-16 August 1914. In this image, we see these brave men standing tall in their military uniforms, armed with guns and rifles, ready to defend their country against the invading German forces. The significance of this battle cannot be overstated. As Germany launched its invasion on Belgium on 4 August 1914, the Belgians placed their hopes on the strategic fortifications of Liege. For eleven days, these determined defenders held out against relentless attacks by the Germans. Their resistance not only bought valuable time for France but also slowed down the enemy's advance towards French territory. However, despite their heroic efforts, they could not withstand heavy artillery bombardment forever. Eventually, their defense was broken and Liege fell into German hands. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these Belgian soldiers during World War I. It symbolizes courage and resilience in times of adversity. The monochrome composition adds a sense of gravity to the scene while highlighting every detail - from expressions on faces to intricate military attire. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured by an unknown creator over a century ago, let us pay tribute to all those who fought valiantly for their countries during one of humanity's darkest periods – World War I.
