EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant illustration captures the harsh reality of the First World War's impact on civilians, specifically the Belgian population, in December 1916. The image shows a chaotic scene at a train station, with German soldiers barking orders and Belgian civilians scurrying about, preparing to board trains that would transport them to Germany. The reason for their deportation was to be used as forced labor in the heavy industry sector, which was crucial to the German war effort. The illustration, titled "Belgian Civilians Being Deported to Germany," is a stark reminder of the brutal treatment meted out to non-combatants during wartime. The station, filled with suitcases and belongings, is a testament to the sudden and chaotic nature of their displacement. The cold winter weather, evident from the frosty ground and the bundled-up figures, adds to the sense of desperation and hardship. The deportation of Belgian civilians was a significant event in the history of the First World War. An estimated 65,000 civilians were forcibly taken to Germany, many of whom were women and children. This historical illustration, from the International Newsreel (ILN) archive, provides a visual representation of a dark chapter in the annals of war history. The image serves as a reminder of the human cost of conflict and the indiscriminate nature of war, which affects not just soldiers but also civilians.
