EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the stoic determination of a French soldier during the tumultuous years of the First World War, between 1914 and 1918. The soldier, dressed in the uniform of the French Army, wears the distinctive kepi cap adorned with a rooster insignia, signifying his rank as a sergeant. The vertical stripes on his sleeves denote his military service and dedication to his country. The soldier's gaze is steady and unwavering, a testament to the unyielding spirit of the men and women who fought valiantly during this global conflict. The intricate details of his uniform, from the shiny buttons to the medals pinned to his chest, speak to the pride and honor bestowed upon those who served. The 1910s were a time of great upheaval and change, and this portrait offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who bravely faced the challenges of the First World War. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the French military during this pivotal moment in history. The use of monochrome photography adds to the timeless quality of the portrait, transporting us back to a bygone era and inviting us to reflect on the courage and resilience of those who fought for a better future.
