EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as Alpine troops undergo intensive ski training in the snowy region of Collet, Vosges, France. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, these soldiers demonstrate their exceptional skills and agility on the slopes, preparing for the harsh winter conditions they would soon face on the battlefields. The First World War marked a significant shift in military strategy, with the recognition of the importance of mountain warfare and the utilization of Alpine troops. The Alpine Corps, also known as the Chasseurs Alpins, were formed in 1913, and their expertise in skiing, climbing, and navigating mountainous terrain proved invaluable during the conflict. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these soldiers, as they honed their skills and built camaraderie in the challenging environment of the Vosges Mountains. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the unique challenges and sacrifices made by these brave men during the Great War. As the world marks the centenary of the First World War, this photograph offers a powerful and evocative insight into the history of military training and the resilience of soldiers during wartime. The snow-covered landscape and the determined expressions of the soldiers in the photograph transport us back to a time of courage, perseverance, and the indomitable human spirit.
