EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stark reality of the German occupation of Brussels, Belgium during the First World War. The scene unfolds on a cobblestone street, where German supply wagons are neatly lined up outside a depot. The horses, harnessed and ready, seem to be waiting for their next assignment. German troops on horseback are visible in the background, their stern expressions and military attire a reminder of the martial presence that had taken over the city. The people of Brussels, both civilians and soldiers, are absent from the frame, but their presence is implied by the deserted street and the empty buildings in the background. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the German army during the war, as they marched through the streets of a once-peaceful European capital. The scene is a poignant reminder of the great upheaval caused by the First World War, and the profound impact it had on the lives of people across the continent.
