EDITORS COMMENTS
In August 1914, as the first shots of World War One echoed across Europe, the small Belgian city of Liege became the stage for one of the most significant early battles of the conflict. The Battle of Liege saw the Belgian defenders valiantly holding off the advancing German forces, buying precious time for the Allies to prepare their defenses in France. At the heart of the Belgian resistance were the formidable Liege Cupola Forts, designed to provide a strong defensive line against any enemy attack. This sectional view diagram, taken from an illustration published in the Illustrated London News in August 1914, offers a glimpse into the intricate design of one of these forts. The fort's cupola, a central, domed structure, housed heavy artillery that could rain down fire upon any enemy forces attempting to breach the fort's walls. The surrounding barbed wire defenses, clearly visible in the diagram, added an additional layer of protection, making it difficult for attackers to approach the fort unscathed. The Battle of Liege marked the beginning of the German advance into Belgium and was a crucial turning point in the early days of the war. The tenacity of the Belgian defenders, armed with the advanced fortifications like the Liege Cupola Forts, allowed the Allies to regroup and prepare for the battles that would follow. This diagram serves as a testament to the engineering prowess of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the determination of the soldiers who manned these formidable structures during the dark days of the First World War.
