EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the beginning of the First World War in Belgium, as Belgian cavalrymen ride through the streets of Brussels in August 1914. The scene is one of order and determination, as the soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, make their way through the city, their lances held high and their helmets adorned with plumes. The calm facade of the buildings and the clear blue sky contrast sharply with the impending chaos and destruction that the war would bring. The cavalrymen, a symbol of the Belgian army's resistance against the invading German forces, are a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Belgian people during this tumultuous time. The image offers a unique glimpse into the early days of the Great War, as the world was forever changed by the events that unfolded on the European continent.
