EDITORS COMMENTS
Sergeant Hoff: A Military Hero and Guardian of the Soldat Inconnu This evocative photograph captures the stoic figure of Sergeant Hoff, a military hero of the Siege of Paris in 1870. The image, taken circa 1872, portrays Sergeant Hoff standing tall and resolute, clad in his military uniform, with the iconic Arc de Triomphe looming in the background. The Siege of Paris, which lasted from September 1870 to January 1871, was a significant turning point in French history. During this time, the city was under siege by the Prussian army, resulting in widespread destruction and suffering. Sergeant Hoff, a French soldier, distinguished himself during the conflict through his bravery and unwavering commitment to his country. Following the end of the siege, Sergeant Hoff was appointed as the guardian of the Soldat Inconnu, or the Unknown Soldier, who was buried beneath the Arc de Triomphe in 1920. The Soldat Inconnu is a symbol of the countless soldiers who gave their lives for their country during the various conflicts throughout French history. Sergeant Hoff's appointment as the guardian of the Soldat Inconnu was a fitting tribute to his military service and bravery during the Siege of Paris. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers throughout history, and the enduring significance of the Arc de Triomphe as a symbol of French military valor and national pride.
