EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the jubilant atmosphere of the WW1 Peace Celebrations in London on July 19, 1919. The French Infantry, proud and resplendent in their uniforms, are seen passing along Westminster Bridge Road, marking the end of the First World War and the beginning of the post-war era. The soldiers, a part of the Allied forces, are greeted by cheering crowds and spectators lining the streets, their faces reflecting a sense of relief and hope for a peaceful future. The image is a poignant reminder of the unity and camaraderie that emerged from the devastating conflict, as well as the collective desire for peace and reconciliation among the war-weary populace. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the power of hope in the face of adversity. The John Barrett Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library preserves this historical moment in time, allowing us to reflect on the past and appreciate the sacrifices made by the soldiers and civilians alike during the Great War.
