EDITORS COMMENTS
In the early days of the First World War, on September 18, 1914, a team of brave Belgian engineers gathered at the railway bridge in Termonde, Belgium, with a determined resolve to delay the advancing German forces. The smoke from the nearby battlefields hung heavy in the air, casting a dusty pall over the scene as the engineers prepared for the explosive task ahead. The railway bridge was a crucial transport link for the German army, and its destruction would significantly hinder their advance towards the heart of Belgium. The engineers meticulously laid the charges, their faces set with a mixture of concentration and trepidation, knowing that their actions could mean the difference between victory and defeat for their country. With the fuses lit, the team retreated to a safe distance as the bridge erupted in a spectacular explosion. The force of the blast sent plumes of smoke and debris billowing into the sky, obscuring the once-sturdy structure as it crumbled to the ground. The deafening roar of the explosion echoed across the Flanders fields, a stark reminder of the devastating power of war. The Belgian engineers' act of sabotage bought precious time for their country, allowing them to regroup and prepare for the next stage of the conflict. This powerful image captures the raw determination and courage of these unsung heroes, whose actions played a pivotal role in the early days of the Great War.
