EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard from the World War One era captures the spirit of patriotism and heroism that defined the Legion of Honour during this tumultuous time in history. The image showcases an explosion on the deck of a naval vessel, with a commanding officer in the foreground, proudly wearing the insignia of the National Order of the Legion of Honour. Established in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, the Legion of Honour is France's oldest and most prestigious order of merit, awarded for military and civilian merits. The explosion in the background symbolizes the intense battles and sacrifices made by the French military during the war. The Legion of Honour medal, with its distinctive cross of laurels, is prominently displayed on the commander's chest, signifying his bravery and valour in the face of danger. The cannon in the background further emphasizes the military theme, as well as the naval component of the French forces. The caption "How it is won" encapsulates the idea that the Legion of Honour was earned through acts of gallantry and bravery on the battlefield. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the history and historical significance of the Legion of Honour, and the heroic men and women who have been awarded this distinguished honour throughout the centuries.
