EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Nos recrues d'Asie, d'Afrique et d'Océanie; En Océanie : les premiers tirailleurs indigènes des îles du Pacifique, en tenue de travail et en tenue de sortie" (Our recruits from Asia, Africa, and Oceania; In Oceania: The first indigenous troops from the Pacific Islands, in working and parade uniform), was published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916, during the First World War. The image captures a group of men, likely recruits or soldiers from the Asian, African, and Pacific regions, standing in two rows, dressed in their working and parade uniforms. Their faces express a range of emotions, from seriousness to curiosity, as they gaze towards the camera. The photograph is a testament to the global reach of the First World War and the recruitment of indigenous troops from various continents to fight for the French army. These men, hailing from Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands, were among the first to serve as tirailleurs, or infantrymen, in the French colonial army. The image provides a glimpse into the diverse makeup of the French military during this period and the role of colonial soldiers in the conflict. The photograph is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" (War Collection IV) in "L'Illustration," which chronicled the war effort from January to June 1916. The exact creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding to the historical intrigue surrounding this powerful image.
