EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating German mortar attack on a fortification in the Belgian city of Liege during the First World War. Dating back to the late 19th century, the fort was a crucial strategic position in the defense of Belgium against the invading German forces. In August 1914, the city of Liege became one of the first targets of the German onslaught, and intense fighting raged for several days. In this image, the remnants of the fort's once imposing walls stand as a testament to the brutal force of the German 42cm mortar shell that hit the structure. The impact of the explosion is evident in the jagged holes and craters that mar the fort's surface, while debris and rubble litter the ground. The scene is further accentuated by the ominous clouds of smoke rising in the background, adding to the sense of destruction and chaos. The Great War, also known as World War 1, marked a turning point in the history of modern warfare. The use of heavy artillery, including mortars, transformed the nature of battlefields and led to widespread devastation. The fort in Liege, located in the Flanders region of Belgium, was just one of many structures that bore the brunt of this new reality of war. This poignant photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a powerful reminder of the destructive power of war and the enduring impact it has on communities and their built heritage.
