A village in Alsace is occupied by French troops, First World War, c1915, (c1920). Children of Alsace, salute the Flag of France! In this powerful print captured during the First World War, we witness a significant moment in history. The scene depicts the presentation of a flag to the children of a village in Alsace after its liberation from German occupation by French troops. The image showcases civilians living amidst the disputed territory of Alsace, their faces filled with hope and gratitude as they raise their hands in salute to their liberators. The children stand at attention, proudly holding onto their newfound symbol of freedom - the Flag of France. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both patriotism and resilience. It encapsulates the spirit and determination that prevailed during those tumultuous times. The villagers' expressions reflect not only relief but also an unwavering belief in their country's cause. Captured in black and white by an unknown photographer, this historical document transports us back to an era marked by warfare and territorial disputes. It stands as a testament to human strength amid adversity. Preserved within 'The Great World War - A History, ' edited by Frank A Mumby, this image offers us glimpses into moments that shaped our world today.
