EDITORS COMMENTS
(The British Army; The Artillery Procession in the Streets of Rouen), 1914 is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the early days of the First World War. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, depicts the arrival of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in Rouen, Haute Normandie, France. The photograph captures a horse-drawn artillery procession making its way through the crowded streets of Rouen. Soldiers, clad in uniforms and wearing helmets, stand proudly atop the vehicles, while civilians line the streets, cheering and waving. The scene is one of welcome and support, as the British allies make their way to the front lines of the Western Front. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the alliance between France and Britain during the First World War. The image is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement, as the British forces prepare to join their French counterparts in the fight against the Central Powers. The horse-drawn vehicles, a common mode of transport during this era, add to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to the early days of the war. The photograph is a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time that is often overlooked in the annals of World War I history. The image is a testament to the unity and determination of the Allied forces, and the support of the civilian population during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during the First World War, and the enduring bond between France and Britain.
