EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the War Illustrated Album Deluxe, published in 1915, depicts a pivotal moment during World War I. A strong German force is seen advancing upon Antwerp, Belgium, with strategic intentions to gain control over the country. However, the resourceful Belgians devised a brilliant tactic to counter their enemy's advance. In an act of desperation and determination, the Belgians opened the dykes and flooded their own land. This unexpected move threw the German forces into confusion and disarray as they struggled to navigate through this newly created aquatic battlefield. The flooding caused great losses for the Germans and disrupted their carefully laid plans. The image captures both sides of warfare - one side employing cunning strategy while the other fights valiantly against overwhelming odds. Amidst this chaos are soldiers on both sides grappling with fear and uncertainty as they engage in battle. Hilary Jane Morgan's skillful capture allows us to witness this significant event that showcases not only military tactics but also highlights human resilience in times of war. It serves as a reminder of how even in dire circumstances, creative thinking can turn the tide against formidable foes. As we gaze upon this historical photograph print, we are transported back to a time when nations fought fiercely for survival and victory was often achieved through unconventional means.
