EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the harsh realities of the Battle of the Yser in October 1914 during the First World War. The scene depicts German artillery attempting to cross the flooded meadows of Antwerp, Belgium. The soldiers and their horses wade through waist-deep water, struggling against the current and uneven ground. The ditches and flooded areas made it impossible for them to advance, creating a significant obstacle in their path. The Battle of the Yser was a crucial moment in the early stages of the war, as the Allied forces, led by the Belgian army, managed to hold their ground against the invading German forces. The strategic decision to flood the Yser delta, using the nearby sea, was a brilliant defensive move that prevented the Germans from advancing towards the English Channel. The flooded terrain presented a unique challenge for both sides, with troops and horses becoming bogged down in the mud and water. The German army, seen here, was not immune to these difficulties. The soldiers' determined efforts to cross the flooded meadows were met with resistance, as the water and ground conditions proved to be insurmountable for some units. This photograph, taken in 1914, offers a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by soldiers during the First World War. The water protection and defences of Antwerp played a pivotal role in the outcome of the Battle of the Yser, demonstrating the importance of adaptability and resourcefulness in the face of adversity.
