In this poignant print titled "Battle of Hofstade. Priest on the way to tend the wounded" we are transported back to a time of immense sacrifice and bravery during World War One. The image captures a group of men, soldiers turned stretcher bearers, navigating a treacherous cobbled road as they carry a wounded comrade on a stretcher. Among them is an unwavering priest, resolute in his mission to provide solace and comfort to those caught in the horrors of war. Despite knowing that their chosen work is fraught with peril, these courageous individuals press forward undeterred by the looming possibility of death.
