EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the raw reality of the First World War battlefields in Belgium, specifically in Flanders, during the early months of the conflict. The date is 20 November 1914, and the photograph depicts a Belgian grave nestled in a shell hole. The makeshift cross, fashioned from the remnants of the battlefield, stands as a testament to the sacrifices made during this brutal war. A human hand, with fingers splayed, appears to be reaching out from the earth, adding an eerie and haunting element to the scene. The grave, with its occupant still seemingly connected to the world above, underscores the devastating impact of the war on both the living and the dead. The ground around the grave is scarred by the relentless bombardment, with shell craters and debris scattered about. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the fragility of life.
