EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment before the unveiling of the Menin Gate memorial in Ypres, Belgium, on 24th July 1927. Dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who perished in the Ypres Salient of World War One and whose graves are unknown, the Menin Gate has become a symbol of remembrance and sacrifice. The Menin Gate memorial, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield, is located at the eastern entrance to the historic city of Ypres, which was devastated during the war. The memorial bears the names of over 54,000 soldiers who have no known grave, inscribed on the walls of the gate. The unveiling ceremony was attended by thousands of people, including veterans, dignitaries, and local residents. The event was a significant moment in the history of World War One commemoration, as it marked the completion of the construction of the memorial and the recognition of the sacrifices made by the British and Commonwealth forces during the war. The photograph shows the crowd gathered in front of the memorial, with the Menin Gate shrouded in a veil, ready to be unveiled. The solemn atmosphere is palpable, as the crowd holds on to their hats and gazes up at the memorial, awaiting the moment of revelation. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the enduring importance of remembrance.
