EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment of immense significance in Belgian history - the mobilization of reservists at Gare du Nord in Paris, France, at the outbreak of World War I in 1914. The image shows a group of Belgian men, dressed in their military uniforms and carrying knapsacks, as they prepare to depart for duty.
The solemn expressions on their faces convey the gravity of the situation as they leave behind loved ones and embark on a journey into uncertainty. The architectural beauty of Gare du Nord provides a stark contrast to the somber mood of the scene unfolding outside its walls.
As these brave men walk towards their train, one can't help but feel a sense of admiration for their courage and dedication to serving their country during this tumultuous time. The crowd gathered around them serves as a poignant reminder of the impact that war has on communities and families.
This photograph is not just a snapshot from history; it is a testament to the sacrifices made by countless individuals who answered the call to defend their homeland. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength displayed by those who have served in times of conflict.
