The Belgian poet Emile Cammaerts describes life behind the prison gates of occupied Belgium after 1914. He writes of requisitions, taxes, censorship and the deportation of workers to Germany, arguing that the civilians’ endurance was as heroic as the army’s, and the text is illustrated with cartoons by Louis Raemaekers.
