EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of camaraderie and companionship between French soldiers and their Alsatian dog during the tumultuous times of the First World War. Taken in July 1915, the image portrays a scene of respite amidst the chaos and destruction of the battlefield. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms and armed with rifles, are intently focused on their surroundings, their expressions serious and determined. Amidst them stands an Alsatian dog, a breed originally from the Alsace region that was once part of both German and French territories. The dog, with its piercing gaze and alert posture, seems to be a natural sentinel, guarding its soldiers and providing them with a sense of comfort and companionship. The presence of the dog adds a poignant reminder of the human-animal bond that transcends the boundaries of war. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers during the 1910s, a time of great sacrifice and hardship, and serves as a testament to the enduring bond between man and his faithful companion.
