EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a poignant moment during the Battle of the Yser, this historic print showcases Belgian soldiers engrossed in reading the identification disc worn by a French soldier. Instead of adorning his neck, this thoughtful soldier has placed it securely around his wrist, ensuring its easy discovery in case of tragedy. The scene unfolds near Diksmuide, Belgium, circa October 17th, 1914. Published on Page 6 of the Daily Mirror on November 12th, 1914, this image serves as a powerful testament to camaraderie and shared humanity amidst conflict. In the backdrop of rifles and uniforms that symbolize war's grim reality, these soldiers demonstrate compassion and unity across national borders.
