EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Les envois de pain; aux prisonniers de guerre: devant les magasins du Bureau secours' and dated 1916, captures a poignant moment during the First World War. The scene unfolds in Bern, Switzerland, where a long line of French prisoners of war, dressed in tattered uniforms and hats, wait patiently before the doors of the Bureau secours, a relief agency. In their hands, they carry empty baskets and bags, anticipating the arrival of much-needed supplies. The background is filled with the bustling activity of the relief organization, as volunteers and workers prepare and distribute sacks of bread and other essential provisions. The sense of community and solidarity is palpable, as the prisoners exchange words and share what little they have with one another. This poignant image serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of aid and relief efforts during times of conflict. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of those affected by war, and the compassionate response of those who seek to help. The photograph is from the Collection de la Guerre IV, published in L'Illustration Tome CXLVII, January, February, March, April, May, and June 1916. The creator of this moving image remains unknown, but their work continues to resonate and tell the story of a pivotal moment in history.
