Description
English: Painted by Inglis Sheldon-Williams in 1920. Mons, Belgium, was the site of the first battle fought by the British Army in the First World War. The British were forced to retreat and the town was occupied by German forces. The Canadian Corps liberated the city during the final days of the war. In the background of this painting, the Gothic structures of the town hall and main square of Mons are clearly shown. This painting captures Belgian civilians and Canadian troops celebrating in the town square at Mons, a short while after the city's liberation. The dead German in the foreground is evidence of the fierce fighting that raged in and around Mons for two days prior to the Armistice on 11 November at 11 a.m.
