BELGIANS STUBBORNLY HOLD TRENCHES

This photograph, taken during the heat of battle while the Germans were attempting to drive the Belgians from a position in the trenches, shows the soldiers of King Albert’s army, armed with machine guns, fighting desperately against the heavy odds of the Germans. In the foreground one of the brave defenders of the trench is seen lying dead.
