Brussels Photo Gallery - Royal Military Museum (The Great War)

The Royal Military Museum's history dates back to the 1910 World Expo, when an officer showcased about 900 objects from the country's military history. The collection was retained and put on display, moving into the north wing of the Jubilee palace in 1923.

The museum's website states their World War I gallery is the biggest and most diverse collection in the world with objects from almost all involved countries. Notice the uniforms have turned from bright and colourful to more muted designs as warfare tactics evolved. There were also new innovations to break the trench warfare deadlock, such as gas, bombers, and more.
