EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene inside Salle B of the French Camp in Alexandrette, Iskenderun, Turkey, circa 1920. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War, most of Hatay Province, including Iskenderun, was occupied by French troops. The image showcases the daily life within the camp, with soldiers and their belongings neatly arranged in the room. Wagons and carts are visible through the open door, suggesting the constant movement and logistical requirements of military life. The French flag, hanging proudly on the wall, is a reminder of the foreign presence that had taken root in this region of Turkey. The image, with its high contrast and sharp focus, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of Hatay Province and its people.
