EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enduring legacy of the Battle of Ypres during World War I, specifically the British Demarcation Stone at Hell Fire Corner on the Menin Road. The Battle of Ypres, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres, was one of the largest and deadliest engagements of the war, with estimates suggesting that over a million lives were lost on all sides. The inscription on this stone, which still stands at the site today, reads "Here the invader was brought to a standstill." The image, taken in the 1920s, shows the weathered stone with its inscription partially obscured by growths of moss and lichen. The Battle of Ypres took place in 1917, and the carvings on the stone were removed by German troops during World War II. The stone serves as a poignant reminder of the fierce fighting that once took place in this location. The Menin Road, where the stone is situated, was a key strategic point during the Battle of Ypres. The road was the site of intense fighting between British and German forces, with the British ultimately gaining ground and halting the German advance. The name "Hell Fire Corner" came from the intense artillery fire that was directed at the area from both sides, earning it a fearsome reputation among soldiers. Today, the British Demarcation Stone at Hell Fire Corner stands as a testament to the sacrifices made during the Battle of Ypres and serves as a reminder of the horrors of war. The inscription on the stone, "Here the invader was brought to a standstill," is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of the soldiers who fought in this devastating conflict.
