EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Belgian soldiers with straw round their hats to disguise their appearance from the enemy" we are transported back to the tumultuous era of World War One. Taken circa August 1914, during the early stages of the conflict, this image offers a glimpse into the resourcefulness and ingenuity displayed by Belgian soldiers in order to deceive their adversaries. The photograph showcases a group of brave men standing united, donning traditional tunics and helmets adorned with strategically placed straw. This clever camouflage technique aimed at obscuring their features from prying eyes on the battlefield. With bayonets fixed onto rifles held firmly in their hands, these valiant soldiers exude an air of determination and resilience. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that each soldier's face carries a unique expression - some revealing steely resolve while others betray hints of apprehension or weariness. These emotions serve as poignant reminders of the immense sacrifices made by countless individuals during times of war. Captured expertly by photographer Tom Grant, this evocative print transports us back to an era defined by conflict and camaraderie. It serves as both a testament to human adaptability amidst adversity and a tribute to those who fought bravely for their homeland. As we gaze upon these Belgian soldiers with straw round their hats, let us remember that behind every uniform lies an individual story waiting to be told - stories etched forever in history's annals.
