EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Tom Grant, we are transported back to the tumultuous era of World War One. The image showcases a group of brave Marines from the British Naval Brigade, perched strategically at windows along the Lierre Road, just two miles away from Antwerp's outskirts. It is circa October 2nd, 1914. With their rifles held firmly in hand and determination etched on their faces, these courageous men engage in sniping activities against an unseen enemy. Their presence within the houses adds an element of surprise and advantage to their position. The composition beautifully captures the essence of conflict during this period. Sandbags line the window sills as makeshift fortifications while shards of sunlight pierce through bullet-riddled curtains. These details serve as poignant reminders of both resilience and vulnerability amidst war. Grant's photograph transports us into a moment frozen in time - a testament to the sacrifice made by soldiers who fought for their countries during one of history's most devastating conflicts. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but reflect upon the bravery exhibited by these Royal Marines and countless others who served alongside them. This powerful photograph serves as a visual reminder that war leaves an indelible mark on those involved; it is not merely a distant memory but rather an integral part of our collective history that should never be forgotten or repeated again.
