EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the devastating impact of World War I on the historic town of Courtrai, Belgium. Taken between 1914 and 1918, the image shows the aftermath of bombing in the Rue de la Plume, with several houses reduced to rubble and timbers. The roofs of the remaining structures are pockmarked with shrapnel and bullet holes, while a ladder leans against one building, suggesting that rescue efforts were underway. The once vibrant and bustling street now lies in ruins, a poignant reminder of the destruction wrought by the conflict. The town of Courtrai, located in the Flanders region of Belgium, had been a significant target during the war due to its strategic importance. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of wartime life and the indelible mark left on the town and its people.
