EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the Two Shot French Resistance Memorial located beside the bridge over the railway on Hill 60 in Ypres, Belgium. The memorial commemorates Pierre Marchant and Lucien Olivier, two brave French resistance fighters who were executed on September 2, 1944, during the latter stages of World War II. The image portrays the solemn and moving tribute to these two heroes, whose sacrifice played a significant role in the resistance movement against the German occupation of France. The memorial, which is situated near the site where they were killed, serves as a reminder of the bravery and resilience of the French resistance during this dark period in history. The backdrop of the railway and the rolling hills of Ypres, a town synonymous with the horrors of the First World War, adds to the poignant atmosphere of the scene. The memorial stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the French people, who refused to submit to the oppressive regime of the Nazis. The photograph, taken in 2016, captures the essence of the memorial, which continues to draw visitors from around the world who seek to pay their respects to Pierre Marchant and Lucien Olivier, and to honor the memory of all those who fought valiantly in the French resistance during the Second World War.
