| Description | Three cars are parked up in a row with three mechanics working over four tyres behind them. Four officers watch over the scene and they appear to be laughing and joking. In the background a field and tents are visible. Royal visits were seen as an important way of boosting morale and convey the impression of solidarity. [Original reads: 'KING OF THE BELGIANS VISITS THE WESTERN FRONT - The King of the Belgians chauffeur in trouble.'] |
