EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Belgian history as King Albert I (1875-1934) and senior army officers dig trenches in 1914, determined to defend their country against the advancing German forces during World War I. The image, taken in the early stages of the war, showcases the monarch's unwavering commitment to his people and his role as a military leader. King Albert, who had served as a lieutenant in the Belgian Army during the 1890s, was well-versed in military strategy and tactics. As the German forces invaded neutral Belgium on August 4, 1914, he refused to surrender and instead rallied his troops to put up a fierce resistance. The king's decision to stay and fight rather than flee to safety inspired the Belgian people and boosted morale among the Allied forces. The photograph, taken in 1914, depicts King Albert and his officers working alongside their soldiers in the trenches. The image underscores the unity and determination of the Belgian people during this critical time in their history. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Belgian monarch and his people during the Great War. King Albert's leadership and bravery during the war earned him the nickname "The Soldier King." He continued to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Belgian military until his death in 1934. This photograph, taken over a decade before his passing, captures a moment in history that encapsulates the spirit of resilience and determination that defined the Belgian people during World War I.
