EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Triumvirate of French Generalship in World War One (February 1915) This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the determined visages of three of France's most esteemed generals during the tumultuous period of the First World War. The trio, comprised of Generals Joffre, Castelnau, and Pau, stands resolute, their unwavering gaze fixed on the horizon as they pledged their unyielding commitment to their nation. In the foreground, General Joseph Joffre (1852-1931), the Commander-in-Chief of the French Army, dons a trademark puttees-adorned uniform and clutches a pair of binoculars, intently scanning the battlefield. His strategic mind and unwavering resolve were instrumental in the early stages of the war, particularly in the Battle of the Marne, which halted the German advance on Paris. To General Joffre's right, General Maurice Sarrail, Comte de la Marmouzillière, Maréchal de France (1856-1929), better known as General Castelnau, wears the insignia of a four-star general on his collar. Castelnau's military career spanned several decades, and he was a key figure in the early battles of the war, including the Battle of Artois and the Battle of Champagne. To the left of the group, General Augustin-Alexis-Marie Pau (1842-1922), a veteran of the Franco-Prussian War, stands tall and proud in his uniform. Pau, who would later become the Governor-General of Algeria, played a significant role in the Battle of Verdun, one of the longest and deadliest battles in World War One. As the trio gazes out into the distance, their unified resolve is palpable. The caption, "Pour La France!" - "For France!" - encapsulates their unwavering commitment to their country and the countless soldiers under their command. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit of the French military during World War One.
