EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of telephonists and secretaries from the General Staff of Colonel Debenedetti during the First World War. Taken in March 1915 at Laroque farm near Roye sur Matz, France, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of these dedicated individuals who played crucial roles in communication during wartime. The subjects are seen wearing military uniforms, complete with kepi hats that symbolize their affiliation with the French army. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war, they exude an air of resilience and determination. One can almost sense their unwavering commitment to their duties as they pose for this portrait. A notable detail is how some members are captured smoking cigarettes, perhaps finding solace or temporary respite from the harsh realities surrounding them. The presence of tobacco adds a layer of authenticity to this snapshot in time. Photographer Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures both individual expressions and collective unity within this composition. The clarity and contrast enhance our understanding of these unsung heroes' contributions to history. Preserved in a private collection today, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of those who served on the front lines but also those working behind the scenes to ensure effective communication during one of humanity's darkest periods – World War I.
