Le 'Soldat Inconnu' de Belgique - King Albert I Saluting the Unknown Soldier's Grave, 1921
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in Belgian history as King Albert I pays his respects to the 'Soldat Inconnu' or 'Unknown Soldier' during his burial ceremony in Brussels, Belgium, in 1921. The image, created by an unknown photographer, is a powerful symbol of remembrance and honor following the devastating impact of the First World War. King Albert I, dressed in his military uniform, stands tall and proud to the right of the sacred tomb, with his head bowed and hand raised in a formal salute. The image, taken from 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, captures the solemnity and gravity of the occasion. The fallen soldier, whose identity remains unknown, represents the countless lives lost during the war, and the sacrifice and bravery of the Belgian military. The image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict, and the importance of peace and unity in the aftermath. The photograph is a testament to the enduring symbolism of military uniforms and ceremonial dress, which continue to be used as a means of commemorating and honoring those who have fallen in battle. The image is also a powerful reminder of the importance of remembrance and the role of monarchs as symbols of national unity and strength during times of crisis. The photograph, taken in the early 1920s, is a poignant reminder of the impact of the First World War on Belgium and the world, and the enduring importance of remembrance and honor in the face of loss and sacrifice.
