1918 : Leaving the war
For posterity
Rue de la Loi, on 22 November 1918. A cameraman of the British army photographed the general exuberance in the streets of the capital. Expecting a devastated and miserable country, the American war correspondents were surprised to find a celebrating city. From then on, complains about Poor Little Belgium would encounter mockery and indifference.
