EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the aftermath of the First World War, as Marshal Ferdinand Foch and General Henri-Philippe Pétain, two of France's most distinguished military leaders, celebrate the liberation of Strasbourg, Alsace-Lorraine, on November 27, 1918. The scene unfolds in Place Kleber, where Foch, astride his horse, is greeted by Generals Castelnau and Vandenberg. The trio stands before the statue of General Kleber, a symbol of the city's rich history and its connection to the French military. The photograph is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2," published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image is a testament to the patriotic spirit that swept through France as the country emerged from the devastating conflict. The victorious soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, stand tall and proud, their faces filled with a sense of accomplishment and relief. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the importance of peace and unity in the aftermath. The image is also a visual representation of the strong bond between the French military and the people, who came together to celebrate their country's victory and the return of Alsace-Lorraine to French control.
