EDITORS COMMENTS
- Victor Hugo. This powerful quote by the renowned French poet, Victor Hugo, encapsulates the sentiment of the three French soldiers gazing out at the breathtaking view of Strasbourg, France in 1918. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, stand on a hillside overlooking an oversized Strasbourg Cathedral, its tricolor French flag proudly flying atop the spire. The serene blue sky mirrors the calm waters of the Rhine River below, creating a stark contrast to the looming presence of a German observation balloon tethered nearby. The scene is a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for the region of Alsace-Lorraine, which had been under German control since the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. The soldiers' determination and unwavering belief in their homeland are palpable, as they gaze out at the familiar landscape that had been taken from them. The quote, "Ce ciel est notre azur ce champ est notre terre! Cette Lorraine et cette Alsace, c'est à nous!" translates to "This sky is our azure, this field is our earth! Lorraine and Alsace, it is ours!" - a testament to the deep connection the soldiers felt to their land and their unwavering desire to reclaim it.
