EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment of General Charles de Gaulle's arrival in Congo-Brazzaville on October 24, 1940. Amidst the backdrop of the African terrain, de Gaulle, the Free French leader, stands tall and resolute as he reviews his troops, having recently escaped from the clutches of the Vichy regime in France. The Congolese soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, salute their commander-in-chief in a show of loyalty and allegiance. De Gaulle, with a determined gaze, returns the salute, signaling the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the Congo and France. The African territory, which was once a French colony, had become a strategic stronghold for the Free French forces during World War II. This image is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Free French movement and the indomitable will of its leader, who would go on to lead France through the darkest days of the war and into a new era of independence and freedom.
