EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Two soldiers of the Naval brigade seen here in a trench on the Lierre Road manning a machine gun" we are transported back to the tumultuous era of World War One. Taken circa October 1914, amidst the chaos and destruction, these brave soldiers stand firm in their duty to defend Antwerp. The image captures a moment frozen in time as these two naval soldiers take aim with their machine gun, ready to unleash its deadly power upon any approaching threat. Positioned within an intricate network of earthworks defences along Lierre Road, which lies just two miles away from Antwerp, they symbolize the unwavering determination and resilience exhibited by those who fought during this global conflict. Their faces remain stoic yet determined, reflecting both the weight of responsibility they carry and their unwavering commitment to protect their homeland. The trench itself serves as a somber reminder of the harsh realities faced by those on the front lines – muddy walls etched with countless hours spent in anticipation and readiness for battle. This poignant photograph by Tom Grant transports us back over a century ago, allowing us to witness firsthand the bravery and sacrifice displayed by these courageous individuals. It serves as a testament not only to their personal heroism but also to all those who served during this defining period in history.
