EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Menin Road, Ypres Then And Now" takes us on a journey through time, transporting us to the haunting era of World War I. Published in 1938 by Sir Ernest Swinton, this powerful image showcases the transformation of a road that once witnessed the horrors and sacrifices of war. The Menin Road, located in Ypres, Belgium, was at the forefront of some of the most intense battles during The Great War. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are reminded of the immense bravery displayed by soldiers who fought on this very ground from 1914 to 1918. The contrasting images presented side by side depict both past and present views of The Menin Road. On one hand, we see a desolate landscape scarred by conflict - trenches dug deep into the earth and remnants of destruction scattered across its path. On the other hand, we witness an image representing hope and resilience - nature reclaiming what was once lost as vibrant greenery now blankets these hallowed grounds. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of our history but also our ability to rebuild and heal after times of devastation. It is a testament to those who sacrificed their lives for future generations' freedom. Hilary Jane Morgan's skillful capture allows us to reflect on how far we have come since those dark days while honoring those who gave everything for peace.
