La Capitulation Allemande; Le matin du 11 novembre, le marechal Foch part pour Paris
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and historic photograph capturing a pivotal moment in the First World War. The image, taken in 1918, shows Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the supreme Allied commander, leaving for Paris on the morning of November 11, carrying the original text of the Armistice of Compiègne in his handkerchief. The photograph is from the "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. Marshal Foch is seen standing in a railway compartment, dressed in his military uniform, as he sets off for the French capital to sign the armistice. He is accompanied by Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, the British naval commander-in-chief, who is also seen in the photograph. The Armistice of Compiègne marked the end of the First World War, and the photograph captures the sense of relief and anticipation that came with the signing of the treaty. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the armed forces of various countries during the conflict and the importance of diplomacy in resolving international disputes. The photograph is a black and white image, and the faces of the two men are etched with the weight of history. Marshal Foch, a French military hero, is seen with a determined expression, while Admiral Wemyss looks on with a sense of pride and accomplishment. The photograph also shows the railway carriage, which was the venue for the signing of the armistice, adding to the historical significance of the image. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of historical records and the importance of preserving the past for future generations. It is a reminder of the events that shaped the 20th century and the role that military leaders and diplomats played in shaping the world we live in today.
