EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures the intense atmosphere of war during the First World War. Belgian soldiers stand in a sandbagged position by a canal, their determined expressions reflecting the gravity of their task. The image is an illustration from "The Great War" by HW Wilson, Vol I (London, 1914), providing us with a glimpse into the front line defense efforts. These brave men are seen defending one of Antwerp's vital arteries against enemy forces. With weapons in hand and sandbags as their shield, they symbolize resilience and unwavering commitment to protect their country. The water transport canal behind them serves as a reminder that even amidst warfare, life continues to flow. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this historic moment. It transports us back to the early 20th century when nations were engulfed in conflict. This image encapsulates both the harsh realities faced by soldiers on the front lines and the spirit of unity that prevailed during those challenging times. As we reflect upon this photograph print today, let it serve as a testament to all those who have sacrificed for freedom throughout history. Their courage echoes through time and reminds us never to take peace for granted.
