EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Free French Navy destroyer, Le Triomphant (The Triumphant), in action during World War II. The date of the image is estimated to be around 1943. The Free French Navy was a vital component of the Allied forces during the conflict, and Le Triomphant was one of several destroyers of the same class that served in the fleet. The destroyer's hull is adorned with the distinctive insignia of the Free French Navy - the Lorraine cross, also known as the Croix de Lorraine. This symbol, which features a red cross on a yellow background, was adopted by the Free French Forces as a mark of their allegiance to the Free French movement and their commitment to the Allied cause. The Lorraine cross had a rich history, having been used as the emblem of the Duchy of Lorraine and later the Kingdom of France under Napoleon Bonaparte. Its use by the Free French Forces during World War II served as a powerful reminder of the long and complex history of France and its people. Le Triomphant, with its powerful guns and agile design, was a formidable vessel that saw action in various theaters of the war. Its presence on the seas was a symbol of French resistance and determination in the face of the Axis powers. This photograph captures a moment in history when the Free French Navy played a crucial role in the Allied victory, and the Lorraine cross flew proudly on the high seas as a symbol of hope and defiance.
