EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of triumph and camaraderie among French colonial soldiers from Morocco during World War I. The image, dated 1915, was taken at Neufmoutiers-en-Brie in the Seine-et-Marne department, and depicts a group of soldiers carefully examining war booty. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, a mix of Tirailleurs and Zouaves, they proudly display their rifles and inspect various trophies and loot from recent battles in North Africa. The North African campaign was a significant part of the larger European conflict, with French forces engaging in fierce battles against the German army and their Ottoman allies. Moroccan troops played a crucial role in these engagements, serving as valuable assets due to their familiarity with the desert terrain and knowledge of local languages and customs. In this photograph, the soldiers' expressions convey a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie as they share in the spoils of war. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the diverse and multicultural nature of the French military during this period and the important contributions of colonial troops in the global conflict. The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on the experiences of French colonial soldiers from Morocco during World War I.
