EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints captures a poignant moment during the tumultuous times of World War One. The image depicts the roads leading to Antwerp, where an unending stream of civilians can be seen fleeing before the relentless onslaught of German shells. Despite this harrowing hurricane of fire and blood, De Nieue, one of Belgium's leading newspapers, proclaims that brave little Belgium refuses to succumb to despair. In the midst of chaos and destruction, our attention is drawn to a small group of people who have resorted to using dog carts as their means of escape along the cobbled road. These courageous Belgian refugees cling onto their belongings tightly as they navigate through uncertainty and fear. Their determination is palpable; they refuse to let go even in the face of unimaginable adversity. The inclusion of dogs in this scene adds another layer of emotion. These loyal companions dutifully pull their owners' meager possessions, symbolizing both resilience and unity within families torn apart by war. Bernard Grant's skillful composition transports us back in time to witness firsthand the impact that war had on innocent lives caught in its crossfire. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder not only of the horrors endured during World War One but also highlights humanity's unwavering spirit when faced with overwhelming challenges.
