EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of unity and determination among the Allied forces during the early days of the First World War. Taken on the quay at Zeebrugge, Belgium on 7 October 1914, the image features men of the Belgian 7th Division, alongside soldiers from the 2nd Scots Guards and 2nd Gordon Highlanders. The cobblestones of the quay bear witness to the heavy foot traffic of troops, as they prepare for the next stage of their campaign against the German forces. The First World War saw the largest and most destructive conflict the world had ever witnessed, with the Allied Powers, including the United Kingdom and Belgium, facing off against the Central Powers, led by Germany. The Belgian 7th Division played a crucial role in the defense of their homeland, holding back the German advance towards Antwerp and preventing them from gaining access to the English Channel. The presence of British troops in this photograph underscores the international nature of the conflict and the importance of the Allied alliance. The 2nd Scots Guards and 2nd Gordon Highlanders, both distinguished regiments of the British Army, were among the many units that were sent to support the Belgian forces in their fight against the German invasion. Despite the grim realities of war, this photograph offers a glimpse into the camaraderie and solidarity that existed between the soldiers of different nations, as they faced the common enemy and worked towards a common goal. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who fought in the Great War, and the enduring spirit of unity and resilience that defined the Allied forces during this pivotal moment in history.
