Titled "Before occupying Brussels, the Germans took Louvain - the key to the capital" it captures a pivotal moment in history. The image showcases Belgian troops anxiously awaiting the German advance behind a sturdy barricade on the road to Louvain. It was August 19th, 1914, a day etched in their memories forever. The soldiers stand tall and resolute, armed with rifles and determination as they prepare to defend their homeland against overwhelming odds. Despite being hopelessly outnumbered, these brave men displayed unwavering courage in resisting the invaders' relentless march towards Brussels. Their valiant efforts bought precious time for Belgium's main army to regroup and fall back towards Antwerp. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only a physical barrier but also an embodiment of resilience and defiance against aggression. The intensity is palpable as each soldier takes aim at an unseen enemy, ready to fight until their last breath.
