A famous and much-reproduced image (also on prints and more recently on mugs), usually mis-captioned as ‘French soldiers’. In fact they are Belgian Chasseurs attacked by the Germans on their retreat from Malines. It shows machine-gunners in a forward position and, behind, the typical Belgian dog carts that transported them. Another image in the same series shows 17 Belgian Chasseurs holed up in a house, surrounded by Prussians, who refused to surrender and who were all killed. The incident was mentioned in the May 1915, ‘Bryce Report’, on German atrocities (much discredited post-war for exaggeration). Belgian: (Pub. on Rue Ma Campagne, Brussels.)
