EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - British horse-drawn artillery stationed in a peaceful Belgian village during August 1914. As the First World War unfolded, the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) swiftly arrived in France on August 7th, ready to confront the advancing German forces. In an effort to defend Belgium's borders, the BEF strategically deployed their troops across various villages. The image showcases the immense power and mobility of these war machines as they occupy the village streets. The horses stand tall and strong, harnessed to their gun carriages, while soldiers diligently prepare for battle. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as men clad in military uniforms engage in crucial preparations. Amidst this backdrop of conflict, civilians observe from afar; their presence serving as a poignant reminder of how war affects even those not directly involved in combat. This photograph encapsulates both the chaos of warfare and its impact on everyday life. Preserved through time by The Print Collector, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into one of history's most tumultuous periods. It serves as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice during times of great adversity.
