1872 Belgian Berghe Born Dated Infantry Lieutenant Photograph Regiment Topographical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stoic and determined expression of Lieutenant Paul Louis Van Den Berghe, a brave Belgian soldier serving in the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Belgian Army during World War I. The image, dated March 1918, depicts Van Den Berghe in his military uniform, adorned with various insignia and medals, including the Order of Leopold II and the Croix de Guerre. Born on November 2, 1872, Van Den Berghe was a seasoned soldier who had seen his fair share of battle before this photograph was taken. The Great War, also known as World War I, had been raging on for over three years, and the Belgian Army was fighting valiantly to defend their homeland against the invading German forces. The topographical background of the photograph provides a sense of the harsh conditions that the soldiers endured during the war. The barren, muddy landscape, dotted with trees and the occasional farmhouse, speaks to the hardships and sacrifices made by the Belgian soldiers during this time. Van Den Berghe's unwavering gaze and strong posture convey a sense of resilience and determination, embodying the spirit of the Belgian Army during this pivotal moment in history. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the Great War, and the historical significance of this period in military and world history.
