Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In the background the façade of a grand house can be seen. Albert I is standing in front of the house surrounded by officers. He is talking to another group of officers. On the far left the first row of troops can just be seen.

Albert I was the King of Belgium at this time. He was praised for resisting the German's request to enter Belgium in 1914 and eventually took over as head of his country's army, contributing greatly to winning the war. Royal visits were seen as an important way of boosting both civil and military morale.
Original reads: ' KING OF THE BELGIANS VISITS THE WESTERN FRONT. The King of the Belgians chats with the officer of the Guard of Honour.']
