EDITORS COMMENTS
Petain et Foch a Strasbourg; Le 27 novembre: les troupes, au pied de la statue de Kleber... 1918" is a captivating photograph capturing a significant moment in the history of France during the aftermath of the First World War. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, depicts two prominent military figures, Marshal Ferdinand Foch and Marshal Jean Baptiste Kleber, standing before the statue of the latter in Strasbourg, Alsace, France. The date, November 27, 1918, marks the occasion when the French army, under the command of Marshal Foch, entered Strasbourg, a city in Alsace that had been under German rule since 1871. The liberation of Strasbourg was a significant event during the final stages of the First World War, and the photograph captures the moment when the French troops paid their respects to Marshal Kleber, a hero of the French Revolution and a native of Strasbourg. The photograph is a poignant representation of the patriotic sentiments that ran high during the post-war period. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, stand at attention, paying homage to their fallen hero. The tri-colour flag of France is prominently displayed, symbolizing the victory and the renewed sense of national pride. The statue of Marshal Kleber, located in Place Kleber, stands tall and proud, overlooking the scene. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of France and its people, who, despite the hardships of war, remained steadfast in their patriotism and commitment to their country. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the importance of peace and unity in the aftermath of conflict. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but the image itself is a valuable piece of history, capturing a moment of triumph and celebration in the annals of French military history.
