EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stern and resolute visage of General Joseph Gallieni, Military Governor of Paris during the tumultuous years of the First World War. Born in 1849, Gallieni was an experienced military commander who had served in various capacities throughout the French colonial empire. When the German army invaded Belgium in August 1914, the threat of a German advance on Paris became imminent, and Gallieni was appointed Military Governor to oversee the defense of the city. In this image, Gallieni is seen wearing the uniform of a French general, adorned with numerous medals and decorations earned throughout his distinguished military career. The prominent monocle perched above his right eye adds an air of authority and intelligence to his appearance. Gallieni's age and the wrinkles etched into his face speak to the weight of responsibility he bore during these trying times. The photograph was taken during the period when Gallieni implemented a series of measures to fortify the city's defenses and prepare its citizens for the possibility of a German siege. These efforts included the construction of the famous "Saxon Barricades," which were erected along the city's perimeter to impede the progress of any invading forces. Gallieni's unwavering determination and strategic acumen proved crucial in preventing the capture of Paris by the Germans, earning him the enduring gratitude of the French people. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit and resilience of the human spirit during times of war. The image of General Gallieni, with his piercing gaze and steadfast demeanor, stands as a testament to the leadership and courage that helped France weather the storm of the First World War.
