Le 'Soldat Inconnu' Americain - The Unknown Soldier Leaves the Capitole for Transport to Arlington National Cemetery, 1921
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a solemn moment in American history as the Unknown Soldier, representing the sacrifices of the fallen during World War I, leaves the Capitole building in Washington D.C. for his final journey to Arlington National Cemetery. The image, created by an unknown photographer, is from the "Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The Unknown Soldier, draped in an American flag and lying on a gun carriage, is surrounded by military personnel in formal attire. The somber scene is further emphasized by the stark contrast between the black and white tones of the photograph. The Capitole, a symbol of American democracy, serves as the backdrop to this moving ceremony. The Unknown Soldier, chosen from among the fallen soldiers of the war, was a symbol of the collective sacrifice of the American people during the First World War. His transfer to Arlington National Cemetery, the Pantheon of the United States, marked the beginning of a new era of remembrance and commemoration for the fallen heroes of the war. The image encapsulates the spirit of mourning, honor, and peace that characterized the postwar period in the United States. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the enduring significance of the Unknown Soldier as a symbol of American courage and sacrifice. It is a poignant and symbolic representation of the journey of the fallen soldiers from the battlefield to their final resting place, and a testament to the enduring power of commemoration and remembrance.
