L'Appoint Militaire du Portugal; M. Bernardino Machado, President de la République Portugaise, bids farewell to Portuguese soldiers leaving for France, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph capturing a significant moment during the First World War. Taken by renowned photographer Joshua Benoliel, this image is from the "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The scene unfolds at a Portuguese military base as President Bernardino Machado, dressed in formal attire, stands at the edge of a dock, surrounded by a crowd of Portuguese soldiers. With a hand raised in a farewell gesture, the president greets the soldiers as they prepare to embark on their journey to France to support the Allied forces during World War I. The image encapsulates the bravery and sacrifice of the Portuguese soldiers, as well as the political leadership's commitment to the war effort. Bernardino Machado, born in Guimarães, Portugal, served as the President of the Portuguese Republic from 1915 to 1917 and again from 1925 to 1926. This photograph, taken during his first term, underscores the critical role Portugal played in the First World War as an ally to the French and British forces. The image is an essential historical document, offering a glimpse into the human side of the war, as soldiers bid farewell to their loved ones and their homeland before embarking on a dangerous journey. The photograph's composition, with the president standing against the backdrop of the soldiers and the dock, creates a powerful visual narrative that resonates with the viewer even today. The image's timeless quality and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to any collection of First World War era photographs or military history.
