EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment during the First World War in 1916, as President Raymond Poincare of France (recognizable by his mustache and bowler hat) visits the battlefront with General Joseph Joffre, the French Commander-in-Chief (seen in profile, with General Roques and General Duparge in the background). The trio is seen entering an underground command post during the Battle of the Somme, one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the war. With the Western Front stretching across France and Belgium, the conflict raged on, testing the resolve of soldiers and civilians alike. The image, published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916, offers a rare glimpse into the wartime experiences of high-ranking military and political figures, as they worked together to lead their country through the tumultuous events of the First World War.
