EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the determined gaze of Belgian General Leman, a key figure in the defense of Liege during World War I. In 1914, as the German forces advanced towards the strategically important city, General Leman skillfully utilized his small force to delay their progress by moving them around within the walls of the forts he helped build.
General Leman's tactical brilliance and unwavering leadership played a crucial role in slowing down the German advance and buying valuable time for allied forces to prepare for further resistance. His heroic efforts at Liege became a symbol of Belgian resilience and defiance against overwhelming odds.
The intensity in General Leman's eyes reflects his unwavering determination to protect his homeland from invasion. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by brave individuals like him during wartime.
Holt's Battlefields Collection has beautifully captured this moment in history, allowing us to appreciate and honor the courage and strategic genius displayed by General Leman during one of the most tumultuous periods in modern warfare.
