August 1914: A German Military Camp Near Liège, Belgium This evocative photograph captures the scene of a large German military camp established near the Belgian city of Liège, following the intense struggle for the town of Visé during the early stages of World War I. The image, taken in August 1914, reveals a vast expanse of German carriages and horses, stretching beyond the trees in the background. Prisoners of War, identified by their uniforms and subdued demeanor, are seen in the center left of the frame. The mass of German military equipment and the presence of the prisoners underscore the scale of the German advance into Belgium. In the foreground, a few curious Belgian spectators observe the scene, their expressions hinting at a mix of awe, apprehension, and resignation. The serene landscape, dotted with trees and rolling hills, starkly contrasts with the ominous presence of the German military encampment. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of war on civilians and the disruption it brought to their daily lives. This image, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the historical events of the early days of World War I, providing valuable insight into the military strategies and the human cost of the conflict.
