EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a bustling street scene in the quiet Flemish town of Oude-God, near Antwerp, northern Belgium, during the early days of the First World War in October 1914. The town, which was located in the strategic region of Flanders, was a crucial site during the conflict as it was situated along the Scheldt River, a vital waterway for the transportation of supplies to the besieged city of Antwerp. In the center of the image, five British omnibuses are parked along the road, filled with a mix of British sailors and Belgian soldiers. The omnibuses, which were commonly used as public transportation during this era, served as essential means of transport for the Allied forces as they made their way through the region. The vehicles, adorned with white "Great War" insignia, add a sense of urgency and importance to the scene. The road is bustling with activity, with pedestrians hurrying along, some carrying bags and bundles, while others stop to look at the advertisements on the side of the buildings. A car can be seen in the distance, adding to the sense of movement and energy in the scene. The buildings, some with damaged facades, bear witness to the turmoil and upheaval of war time. Despite the ominous backdrop of war, there is a sense of community and camaraderie in the photograph, as soldiers and civilians come together in the face of adversity. The image is a poignant reminder of the human spirit and resilience during times of conflict.
