EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful postcard image captures the White Chateau in Hollebeke, Belgium, during the aftermath of the First World War. Dated to the 1910s, the photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the devastation wrought by the conflict. The once grand and imposing White Chateau, a symbol of Belgian history and culture, now lies in ruins, its once pristine white walls scarred by the ravages of war. The atmospheric scene is set against the backdrop of a somber and moody sky, adding to the sense of loss and despair. The destruction of the chateau was a result of the Battle of Ypres, which took place in 1916 and saw some of the most intense fighting of the war. The battle left the region devastated, with countless lives lost and buildings, including the White Chateau, reduced to rubble. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring power of history to inspire reflection and remembrance.
