King Albert I of Belgium and General Jacques de Dixmude: A Moment of Solace on the Belgian Coast During World War One This evocative photograph captures a rare moment of respite for King Albert I of Belgium and Belgian General Jules Marie Alphonse Jacques de Dixmude (1858-1928) amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War. The image, taken in 1915, depicts the monarch and the esteemed military leader strolling among their troops, who are resting on a small Belgian beach. King Albert I is dressed in the new khaki uniform he had adopted for his army, blending in with his soldiers and demonstrating his commitment to leading from the front. General Jacques de Dixmude, a hero of the Belgian resistance during the early stages of the war, is best known for his successful defense of the town of Dixmude against the German advance in October 1914. His bravery and determination prevented the town from falling into enemy hands, earning him the esteem of his countrymen and the honor of elevation to the title of Baron of Dixmude in 1919. The serene scene belies the harsh realities of the war, which had been raging for over a year at this point. The soldiers, weary from the relentless fighting, momentarily find solace in the presence of their king and their respected general, who offer them a brief reprieve from the horrors of the battlefield. The photograph stands as a poignant reminder of the human side of war, revealing the camaraderie, courage, and resilience of the Belgian troops during this pivotal moment in their nation's history.
