EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on 17 May 1919, Marshal Ferdinand Foch of the French Army (left) and General Sir William Robertson of the British Army (right) take the salute in Cologne, Germany. The scene unfolds on the arrival of Marshal Foch from the steamer Bismarck, marking a significant moment in the aftermath of the First World War. Both generals, dressed in their full military uniforms, stand at attention as the soldiers in the background come to a rigid halt, giving the impression of a well-disciplined and orderly scene. Marshal Foch, a prominent French military leader during the war, had been appointed as the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe in 1918, and his arrival in Germany signified the beginning of the occupation and the implementation of the Treaty of Versailles. General Robertson, who had served as the Chief of the Imperial General Staff for the British Army during the war, played a crucial role in the planning and execution of military strategy. His presence in Cologne underscores the Allied forces' collective efforts to maintain order and stability in a war-torn Germany. The photograph captures the essence of the post-war era, with the two allied commanders standing together, symbolizing the unity and cooperation between the British and French armies in the face of a common challenge. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of the First World War on Europe and the world at large. This photograph is part of the Imperial War Museum's Robert Hunt Library collection, and is available through Mary Evans Picture Library. (c) Imperial War Museum/Robert Hunt Library/Mary Evans.
