EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Belgian nuns and civilians making their way along a quiet rural road at Adinkerke, in the province of West Flanders, Belgium, during the tumultuous year of 1917. The First World War raged on in the background, with the Yser front line just out of sight. The nuns, dressed in their traditional habits, walk steadfastly, their faces set with determination and resilience. They are accompanied by a group of civilians, including children, who cling to their hands or carry bundles on their backs. In the distance, a windmill stands tall against the sky, a symbol of the pastoral beauty of the region that has been disrupted by the ravages of war. Soldiers can be seen in the background, marching along the road or tending to their duties at the front. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the enduring strength and resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. This image is a powerful testament to the people of Belgium, who, despite the hardships of war, continued to persevere and maintain their daily routines as best they could.
