EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stark and fortified landscape of the Western Front during World War II, as viewed from Pillbox 766522 looking north towards Halliun in Belgium. The scene is set on a bitterly cold day in January 1940, with the 2nd Northants Regiment of the 17th Infantry Brigade on duty. The image reveals an intricate network of anti-tank obstacles, designed to thwart the advance of enemy tanks. The obstacles consist of rows of sharpened wooden stakes, interspersed with coils of barbed wire, creating a formidable barrier. In the distance, the silhouette of Halliun village can be seen, its buildings huddled together for protection. The Menin Church, with its distinctive tall spire, stands proudly amidst the landscape, a symbol of resilience and endurance. The winter scene is somber and foreboding, yet the determination of the British forces is palpable, as they prepare for the anticipated German invasion. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the defensive measures taken during this pivotal period in history, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the darkest days of the 20th century.
