EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a significant moment in history - the early days of World War I. The image captures a poignant scene on the road to Brussels, as refugees flee from the advancing German Army. It is believed to have been taken around 10th August 1914, during the initial stages of the conflict. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a country lane filled with people desperately seeking safety amidst chaos and uncertainty. Horse-drawn carts laden with belongings trundle along, while weary individuals walk alongside them, their faces etched with worry and exhaustion. Amongst them are women clutching children tightly and elderly men struggling to keep up. The presence of a cow grazing peacefully nearby adds an eerie contrast to this scene of displacement and upheaval. It serves as a reminder that life continues even in times of war, yet it also highlights how abruptly normalcy can be shattered by conflict. Published on page 12 of the Daily Mirror on 21st August 1914, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by those caught up in one of history's most devastating conflicts. As we reflect upon these haunting images from over a century ago, let us remember the resilience and strength displayed by these refugees as they embarked on an uncertain journey towards an unknown future.
