EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the devastation wrought by the First World War on the once peaceful interior of a church in Ostend, Belgium. The photograph, taken circa 1914, depicts the aftermath of a bombing raid that left the sacred space in ruins. Nuns, dressed in their traditional habits, stand on the right-hand side of the image, their faces etched with shock and sorrow as they gaze upon the lifeless bodies of women among the jumble of wooden chairs. The great war had brought destruction and death to this Belgian town in Flanders, leaving behind a scene of unimaginable tragedy. The church, a symbol of faith and hope, now stands as a grim reminder of the horrors of war. The image is a poignant testament to the human cost of conflict and the resilience of those who bear witness to its devastation.
