EDITORS COMMENTS
(Under the direction of our consul in Alaska) is a captivating photograph taken in 1915, showcasing the head of a sled team in the Vosges region of France. This image is part of the "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. During the early 1900s, real sled companies were established in the Vosges, a mountainous region in eastern France, to prepare for the harsh conditions of the Western Front during World War I. In this photograph, we see the formation of such a team, with the consul in Alaska overseeing the process. The team is composed of genuine Alaskan huskies, imported to France to provide efficient and reliable transportation in the snowy terrain. The photograph captures a group of soldiers, likely from the Chasseurs Alpins (Alpine Hunters) regiment, handling the huskies with care and precision. The men are bundled up against the cold, their faces determined as they prepare the dogs for duty. The dogs, with their keen eyes and alert expressions, appear eager and ready to pull the sleds. The image is a poignant reminder of the unique challenges faced by soldiers during the war and the innovative solutions they employed to adapt to the harsh winter conditions. It also highlights the global interconnectedness during this time, as France imported huskies from Alaska to aid in their war efforts. This photograph is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and the ingenuity and resilience of those who lived during the First World War.
