EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: In this poignant print from The Illustrated War News, 1915, we witness the indomitable spirit of a wounded leader. General Henri Gouraud, hailed as a hero and lion of the Argonne, lies in his sickbed at a military hospital in Paris. His commanding presence is evident despite his injuries and the loss of his right arm during the Dardanelles Campaign. General Gouraud's visage reflects both strength and resilience as he gazes into the distance with determination. His distinguished moustache frames a face marked by courage and experience. Surrounding him are vibrant flowers that symbolize hope and rejuvenation amidst adversity. The room exudes an air of convalescence with its carefully arranged furniture and furnishings. A medal adorns General Gouraud's chest, testament to his valor on the battlefield. This portrait captures not only his physical wounds but also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers during times of war. Through this engraving by Charles Jules Duvent, we gain insight into General Gouraud's unwavering commitment to duty even while recovering from grave injuries. It is no wonder that Sir Ian Hamilton has referred to this wounded leader as a calamity - for it is through such individuals that nations find inspiration in their darkest hours. This image stands as a tribute to all those who have suffered for their countries' causes throughout history – reminding us never to forget their sacrifice nor take our freedom for granted.
