Collection description :
Michel De Bremaecker donated his father’s (Eugène De Bremaecker’s) photo collection to CegeSoma in 2005. A Belgian statuary sculptor and medal maker born in Brussels in 1879, the latter died in Ixelles in 1963. Apart from his work as a sculptor, he was also passionate about photography. His photographs, which testify to a life in trenches and at the rear front between 1914 and 1918, constitute one of the biggest collections on the First World War kept by CegeSoma.
