EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a chilling moment in history during World War I. Titled "Living Shield, Belgium," the image depicts a group of local civilians being forced by German soldiers to march ahead of them as they invade Belgium. This barbaric tactic was used to discourage the enemy from shooting at them, using innocent people as human shields.
The events depicted in this photograph are a stark reminder of the atrocities committed during wartime, where civilians become pawns in the hands of warring nations. The fear and helplessness on the faces of these individuals serve as a powerful testament to the horrors of war and the lengths to which some will go to achieve their goals.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured in time, it is important to remember the sacrifices made by those caught up in conflicts not of their making. The bravery and resilience shown by these local civilians forced into such dire circumstances should never be forgotten.
"Living Shield, Belgium" serves as a poignant reminder of the dark chapters in our past and stands as a warning against allowing such atrocities to happen again. May we always strive for peace and understanding, so that scenes like this may never be repeated.
