EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment German artillery makes its way into the heart of Brussels at the beginning of the First World War in 1914. The image bears witness to the German occupation of the city, an event that marked the beginning of a long and devastating conflict. The scene is one of military precision and determination, as horses and their riders, along with soldiers on foot, navigate the cobblestone streets of Brussels, pulling heavy artillery pieces behind them. The guns, with their ominous barrels and intricate mechanisms, loom large in the frame, a stark reminder of the destructive power at hand. The German soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and bearing their weapons, are a formidable sight, their faces set with determination and focus. The men and horses move in unison, a testament to the discipline and organization of the German army. The city of Brussels, once a bustling center of commerce and culture, now lies quiet and still, its streets filled with the clatter of hooves and the rumble of wheels. The Belgian flag, which can be seen flying from a nearby building, stands defiantly against the encroaching German forces. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the events that unfolded in Brussels during the First World War. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was forever changed by the outbreak of war. The image is a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict and the indelible mark it leaves on the history of nations.
