EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant memorial, located on the wall of Langemarck Town Hall in Belgium, commemorates the tragic events of April 22, 1915 during the First World War. The German army launched a chlorine gas attack against the French 87th Territorial Infantry Division in the Ypres (Ieper) region, resulting in a devastating loss of life. The attack took place near the village of Langemarck, which was then part of the German-occupied territory. The memorial, which was unveiled in 2016, serves as a reminder of the horrors of chemical warfare during this conflict. The image captures the solemn atmosphere of the memorial, with its simple yet powerful design featuring the insignia of the French 87th Territorial Infantry Division and the date of the infamous attack. The memorial stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the First World War, and serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and the need to remember the lessons of history.
