EDITORS COMMENTS
Journee du Poilu. Organised by the Parliament: A Glimpse into the Heart of France during World War I This evocative poster, dated 1915, captures the spirit of unity and determination that defined France during the tumultuous years of the First World War. The image features a young Red Cross nurse and a small boy, both dressed in the iconic colors of the French flag. The nurse, with her compassionate gaze and outstretched hand, embodies the selfless dedication of the Red Cross volunteers who worked tirelessly to care for the wounded soldiers. The boy, wearing a red cap and carrying a collection cup and medals, symbolizes the unwavering support of the French people for their soldiers. His plea, "So that Papa may come on leave, if you please," encapsulates the deep longing for the reunification of families torn apart by the ravages of war. This poignant scene was organised by the French Parliament as part of the 'Journee du Poilu' or 'Day of the Doughboy,' a national fundraising campaign aimed at providing financial assistance to the soldiers and their families. This powerful poster serves as a poignant reminder of the collective resilience and solidarity that sustained the French people during the darkest hours of their history.
