EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment the German army marched into the French town of Lille on 12 October 1914, during the early stages of World War I. The image bears witness to the harsh realities of wartime as the soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, make their way through the damaged streets of the town. The buildings in the background show the devastating effects of bombing, with rubble and debris scattered about. The ruins of once-grand structures stand as a testament to the destruction wrought by the conflict. In the distance, the railway station can be seen, likely a strategic target due to its importance as a transportation hub. The arrival of the German army marked the beginning of the occupation of Lille, which would last until the end of the war in 1918. This historical photograph provides a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war on civilian populations and the long-lasting effects it leaves in its wake.
