EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing a military football match in Paris during the First World War. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in "L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," a French publication documenting the war. In the photograph, we see a group of soldiers from the 20th Corps, dressed in their blue and white football kits with tricolore insignia, gathered at the Velodrome of Parc des Princes. The men, with determined expressions on their faces, are preparing for the match, which served as a welcome distraction from the harsh realities of the ongoing conflict. The image captures the camaraderie and spirit of the soldiers, as they come together on the football field, momentarily setting aside the horrors of war. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, showcasing the resilience and determination of the soldiers during the First World War. The image also highlights the importance of sports and recreation in maintaining morale during times of conflict. The photograph's historical significance is further emphasized by its inclusion in the "Collection de la Guerre IV" of "L'Illustration," making it an essential addition to any collection of World War I history or military memorabilia.
