EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the moment of departure for a group of civilian refugees from Ypres, Belgium, during the early days of the First World War on 2 November 1914. The Great War had brought devastation and chaos to the region, forcing thousands of civilians to flee their homes in search of safety and security. In this photograph, we see men, women, and children, many of them carrying meager belongings, as they prepare to board a cart pulled by a large brown cow. The scene is reminiscent of a mass exodus, with the refugees huddled together, looking anxious and weary, as they leave behind their homes and livelihoods in the war-torn town of Ypres. The Flanders region of Belgium, known for its rolling hills and picturesque landscapes, had been transformed into a battlefield. The sound of gunfire and explosions had become a constant backdrop to daily life, making it impossible for civilians to remain in their homes. The refugees were traveling to areas that were considered safer, often with only the clothes on their backs and the hope of finding shelter and food. The photograph is a stark reminder of the human cost of war and the displacement and suffering it brings. The refugees in this image represent the countless numbers of people who were forced to leave their homes during the First World War, and the image serves as a testament to their resilience and determination to survive in the face of unimaginable hardship.
