The image showcases a poignant scene amidst the chaos and displacement caused by the conflict. The photograph depicts a group of Belgian refugees finding solace and respite within the confines of bathing machines along the shores of Ostend. These unique contraptions, originally designed for seaside relaxation, have now been repurposed as temporary shelters for those displaced by war.

Grant's skillful composition allows us to truly immerse ourselves in this historical moment; it serves as a reminder that humanity can find solace even in the most unlikely places during times of crisis. This photograph not only documents an important chapter in history but also honors the strength and endurance exhibited by countless individuals affected by conflicts throughout time.
