EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the First World War, Belgian troops stand their ground at Termonde, Belgium, on September 18, 1914. The scene captures the rear guard of the Belgian army, poised to cover the retreat of their comrades after the strategic sabotage of a railway bridge. The bridge, once a vital transport route for supplies and reinforcements, now lies in ruins, reduced to debris and dust by the explosives that were detonated to delay the relentless German advance. The Great War had reached the shores of Belgium just a few days earlier, and the country became a battleground in the early stages of this global conflict. The men in this photograph, their faces etched with determination and grit, are a testament to the tactics and resilience of the Belgian forces in the face of overwhelming adversity. The dusty landscape, punctuated by the occasional puff of smoke from the explosions, speaks to the raw power and devastation of the war. As the world watched in horror, the once peaceful countryside of Flanders was transformed into a war zone, with the sounds of gunfire and explosions becoming a constant backdrop. The Belgian troops at Termonde, with their backs against the wall, were a symbol of the courage and sacrifice that would define the First World War. Their actions, though ultimately unsuccessful in stopping the German advance, bought precious time for the Allied forces to regroup and prepare for the long and arduous battle ahead.
