EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the First World War, as Portuguese prisoners of war (POWs) are gathered at a collecting station on the Western Front. Dating from 1916-1918, the image shows a group of Portuguese soldiers standing outdoors, their faces etched with fatigue and resignation. The open-air setting, with its barren trees and muddy terrain, underscores the harsh conditions endured by these men during their captivity. The Portuguese Army, like many others, sent thousands of troops to fight in the Great War. Despite being a neutral country, Portugal was drawn into the conflict due to its territorial disputes with Germany in its African colonies. As a result, Portuguese soldiers found themselves facing the German army on the Western Front. The collecting station served as a temporary holding area for POWs before they were transported to permanent camps. The soldiers are seen here in a line, their hands raised in submission, as they are inspected and processed by military personnel. The scene is one of order and discipline, yet the sight of these men, far from home and facing an uncertain future, is a stark reminder of the human cost of war. This photograph offers a glimpse into a little-known aspect of the First World War, highlighting the experiences of Portuguese soldiers who were caught up in the conflict. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers from all nations during this tumultuous period in history.
