EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment from history - the Battle of Hofstade during World War One. In this intense scene, Belgian guns are being drawn into action by an unexpected force - dogs. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers in times of conflict. The dogs, harnessed to the carts carrying the heavy artillery, march steadfastly alongside their human counterparts on a cobbled road. Their determination is palpable as they contribute to the war effort with unwavering loyalty. Once unharnessed, these brave canines lie quietly by the side of the guns, showcasing their discipline and training. Surrounded by towering trees that bear witness to countless battles fought throughout history, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime. The men in uniform stand tall and resolute amidst this column formation, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead. Published on September 17th, 1914 in Daily Mirror Page 6, this image has become an iconic symbol of bravery and camaraderie during World War One. Photographer Tom Grant skillfully captures both the chaos and orderliness inherent in warfare through his lens. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of humanity's capacity for destruction but also our ability to find innovative solutions even amidst adversity. This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to a pivotal moment in history when dogs played an extraordinary role on the battlefield.
