Warning: The originals photos, texts, films, music, etc ... of the period previous to 1921 year -see the Act of the US Congress about it - have no copyright and belong to the public domain. However, those same pictures, I process this blog, when I restore and paint the pictures, then the right of modification is produced, ie that are protected by full copyright law, in this case mine. Of course there are many more laws in the world, declared in the public domain photographs (which is the topic at hand), in very later dates to the aforementioned (Example: WWII, Korea, etc ...) .
This is very cool! Do you know where these Belgian photos are from? Because I'd love to see higher res ones for details. I'm interested in the cars, but what caught my eye in particular were the uniforms of the men in the top right photo, which I'd love to see close up.
ReplyDeleteThis Pipe was the first armored car was built in Belgium. In the foreground, Lieutenant Henkart (+ 5, September 1914), and standing on the car, holding a revolver, Prince Baudouin de Ligne (+ 9, September 1914). Both died from injuries received when he fell with their armored cars, in an ambush laid by the Germans in Zammel, near Westerloo. With this data, you'll find out more about both characters.

Este Pipe, fue el primer coche blindado que se construyó en Bélgica. En primer plano, el Teniente Henkart ( + 5, Septiembre 1914), y de pié sobre el vehículo, empuñando un revolver, el Principe Baudouin de Ligne ( + 9, Septiembre 1914). Ambos fallecieron a consecuencia de las heridas recibidas, al caer con sus coches blindados en una emboscada tendida por los alemanes en Zammel, cerca de Westerloo. Con esto datos, podrás indagar más sobre ambos personajes.
Saludos,
