L'Arrivee du General Pershing; Sur le quai de Boulogne - accompagne du general Pelletier, ampute du bras droit, chef de la mission militaire francaise attachee a l'armee americaine
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Arrival of General Pershing on the Quay of Boulogne: Accompanied by General Pelletier, Amputee of the Right Arm, Head of the French Military Mission Attached to the American Army), is a poignant and historically significant photograph from the First World War era. Taken in 1917, the image captures the moment General John J. Pershing, Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces, disembarks from a ship at Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. Accompanying Pershing is General Pelletier, the head of the French military mission attached to the American army, who is seen with his right arm amputated. The two military leaders are inspecting a detachment of sailors on the quay, likely preparing for their deployment to the front lines. The photograph, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, is a testament to the international cooperation and camaraderie between the French and American forces during the war. The image is a powerful metaphor for the sacrifices and challenges faced by soldiers during wartime, as well as the resilience and determination of those who served despite physical disabilities. The photograph also highlights the political and diplomatic significance of the First World War, as well as the important role played by military leaders like Pershing and Pelletier in shaping the course of international relations. Overall, this photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in the First World War and a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.
