Le jour de gloire; le drapeau de l'armée coloniale sous l'Arc de Triomphe,
EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "The Glorious Day; The Colonial Army Flag under the Arc de Triomphe," is a captivating photograph from the aftermath of World War I. The image, created by an unknown artist, was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph captures a momentous occasion as soldiers of the colonial army proudly carry their flags, bearing the emblems of their respective countries, under the iconic Arc de Triomphe on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris, France. The Arc de Triomphe, a symbol of French military success and national pride, stands tall against the clear blue sky, providing a striking backdrop to the victorious procession. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, march with determination and pride, their faces reflecting the joy and relief of the postwar period. The Avenue des Champs-Élysées, usually bustling with activity, is now transformed into a grand avenue for the parade, with onlookers gathered at Place Charles de Gaulle and Place de l'Étoile to honour their victorious allies. The photograph, a testament to the end of a long and arduous war, represents the unity and camaraderie among the Allied forces. The black and white image, with its contrasting colours and powerful imagery, remains a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and the triumphant spirit that followed. The photograph, "Le jour de gloire; le drapeau de l'armée coloniale sous l'Arc de Triomphe," is a significant piece of history, documenting a pivotal moment in the 20th century and the aftermath of the First World War. Despite the unknown artist, the image continues to resonate with viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the spirit of unity and victory that emerged from the ashes of war.
