EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les evenements d'orient; Le 31 aout, la capitaine grec Sarris annonce la constitution de la Ligue de la Defense nationale," was published in L'Illustration, a French weekly magazine, in 1924. The image captures a pivotal moment during the First World War, as Greek Captain Evangelos Sarris announces the formation of the National Defense League on August 31, 1916. Sarris, a cavalry commander, is depicted on horseback, dressed in military attire, with a determined expression on his face. Surrounded by gendarmes and other armed forces personnel, he addresses a crowd of troops in Crete, a country that had recently joined the war on the side of the Allies. The formation of the National Defense League was a significant event in the Greek response to the war, reflecting a growing sense of nationalism and the desire to protect Greek interests. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the military conflicts and tensions that characterized the early 20th century. The image is also a testament to the enduring power of photography as a means of documenting history and preserving the memories of important events. This print, from the Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or military memorabilia.
