EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of patriotism and determination during the First World War, as a young girl proudly holds aloft the French flag atop the Jules Ferry, a Leon Gambetta-class armoured cruiser of the French Navy. Built between 1902 and 1904, the Jules Ferry was one of three such cruisers commissioned during the first decade of the 20th century. With a displacement of over 6,000 tons and armed with a main battery of eight 165mm guns, she was a formidable vessel in the French fleet. As the First World War raged on, the Jules Ferry saw action in various engagements, including the Battle of the Falklands in 1914 and the Battle of the Dardanelles in 1915. The photograph, taken circa 1917, likely depicts the ship during her time in the Mediterranean Sea, where she provided support for the French naval blockade of the Central Powers. The image of the young girl, with her hand firmly gripping the flagpole and the French tricolor waving in the wind, is a powerful symbol of the pride and patriotism that fueled the French war effort during this tumultuous period in history. The Jules Ferry and her crew played a crucial role in defending France's interests and upholding the values of freedom and democracy against the forces of tyranny and oppression. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the French Navy during the First World War and the enduring spirit of patriotism that continues to inspire generations.
