EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of relief and triumph as Belgian soldiers disembark from a ship onto the sandy shores of Dunkirk, France, in July 1915. The First Belgian Army, having completed successful maneuvers and exercises, proudly returns home after months of training in preparation for the ongoing First World War. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms and carrying their equipment, are greeted by their families and loved ones on the beach, their faces filled with joy and pride. The blue waters of the English Channel and the clear summer sky serve as a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the battlefield. The scene is a reminder of the camaraderie and resilience of the soldiers, and the unwavering support of their loved ones, during a time of great turmoil and uncertainty. This poignant image, from The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the human side of the war effort and the enduring spirit of the Belgian Army during the First World War.
