EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph showcases a brass plaque, inscribed with the Latin phrase "Salus Patriae Suprema Lex," which translates to "The well-being of the Fatherland is the highest duty." This commemorative plaque was presented to all Belgian veterans who had experienced the horrors of combat during the Great War, from 1914 to 1918. The First World War, also known as WWI or WW1, was a significant turning point in military history, with millions of lives lost and the world forever changed. The image captures the solemnity and gravity of the moment as the veterans, having bravely served their country, received this symbolic token of appreciation. The brass plaque, with its elegant design and thoughtful inscription, serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made in the name of their fatherland. The plaque's timeless beauty and historical significance make it a cherished possession for each veteran, a testament to their unwavering commitment and dedication. This photograph is an essential piece of World War I history, offering a glimpse into the past and the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought for their country. The image stands as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between the people and their fatherland, and the supreme duty that drives them to protect it.
