EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber scene of the River Yser in Dixmude, Belgium during the First World War. The tranquil water is disrupted by the turbulence caused by the nearby flour mill, its sails turning relentlessly despite the chaos of war raging in the background. Soldiers and troops can be seen in the foreground, their expressions a mix of determination and exhaustion as they stand guard along the riverbank. The mill, a symbol of resilience and continuity amidst the destruction of war, stands as a stark contrast to the smoke-filled sky and the desolate landscape around it. The photograph, taken between 1914 and 1918, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of wartime life, with the men stationed there serving as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Belgian people during this tumultuous period in history. The River Yser, with its strategic importance as a defensive line against the German advance, played a crucial role in the First World War, and this photograph captures a moment in time that encapsulates the grit and determination of those who fought and survived during this great conflict.
