EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, taken in 1914. The image, which is part of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, depicts a significant moment in military history. The photograph captures the arrival of Field Marshal John Denton Pinkstone French, 1st Earl of Ypres, and his staff at the quayside of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France. French, a British soldier, had come to lead the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in support of the French army against the invading German forces. The photograph shows French, a distinguished-looking man with a stern expression, disembarking from the British warship HMS Sentinel. He is accompanied by several officers, all dressed in their military uniforms, as they make their way down the gangplank towards the quay. The sailors on the ship, also in their uniforms, are seen in the background, helping to secure the ropes and prepare for the departure of the ship. The image is a testament to the military cooperation between France and Britain during the early stages of the First World War. The arrival of French and his staff marked the beginning of a significant military presence by the British in France, which would last for the duration of the war. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of both nations during this pivotal period in history. The photograph is a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time that played a crucial role in the outcome of the First World War. It is a reminder of the importance of military cooperation and the sacrifices made by the soldiers of both France and Britain during this time. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in military history, the First World War, or the history of international relations.
