EDITORS COMMENTS
Premiers au feu" is a French phrase that translates to "First to Fight" in English. This powerful and evocative phrase holds a significant historical connection to the United States Marines. In the year 1917, as the world was embroiled in the devastating conflict of World War I, this phrase was immortalized in a striking poster featuring an image of a brave Marine in full combat gear, donning a helmet and gazing determinedly into the distance. The poster, created during a time when the United States was preparing to enter the war, served as a rallying cry for recruitment and patriotism. The Marines, known for their unwavering courage and commitment, were a natural choice to represent the spirit of "First to Fight." The image of the Marine, with his strong and resolute stance, embodied the bravery and determination required to face the challenges of the battlefield. The use of both French and English languages in the title of the poster reflects the international nature of the conflict and the global reach of the United States military. The French phrase "Premiers au feu" adds an air of sophistication and allure, while the English translation ensures that the message is accessible to a wider audience. This poster is a testament to the enduring legacy of the United States Marines and their role in defending freedom and democracy around the world. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have worn the uniform and answered the call to duty, and of the importance of standing strong in the face of adversity. The poster, with its bold design and powerful message, remains an iconic piece of military history and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
