EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the early days of the First World War, as King Albert I of Belgium (1875-1934) and senior army officers dig trenches alongside their troops. The image, dated 1914, depicts the monarch and military leaders demonstrating their commitment to the defense of their country against the advancing German forces at the Western Front. The trenches, which would become synonymous with the brutal realities of trench warfare, were essential for protecting soldiers from enemy fire and providing a strategic advantage. The determined expression on King Albert's face, as he wields a shovel alongside his officers, underscores the gravity of the situation and the unwavering resolve of the Belgian forces to defend their homeland. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the leadership and courage displayed by those on the front lines.
