EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stark reality of St. Quentin, France during World War I, as it fell under German occupation in 1916. The image shows a line of German soldiers standing in front of the Hotel de Ville, the historic town hall located in the heart of the northern French town. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen with stern expressions, their rifles at the ready, as they guard the imposing building. In the background, the town's sculpture and statue adorned facade of the Hotel de Ville can be seen, a stark contrast to the militaristic scene unfolding before it. The once bustling town square, now empty and quiet, is a testament to the devastating impact of war on civilians and their communities. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the historical significance of St. Quentin during this period, as it was a key strategic location for both the German and Allied forces. The occupation of St. Quentin by the Germans lasted for several months before it was recaptured by the Allies in September 1918. This powerful image, taken in 1916, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the harsh realities of life under military occupation during the First World War.
