Qui Va La?
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Moment of Surprise and Whimsy in the Snows of Early World War One This evocative photograph, titled "Qui Va La?" by Will Owen, captures a moment of unexpected interruption during the harsh realities of military duty in the early years of World War One. The image depicts a French soldier, dressed in the traditional red pantalons and kepi, standing sentinel in the snowy landscape. His expression is one of surprise and curiosity as he is disturbed by a group of rabbits frolicking in the snow near his position. The soldier's question, "Who Goes There?" is a common challenge used by sentries to ensure the safety of their posts. However, in this instance, it seems the soldier's guarded gaze is momentarily diverted from his duty as he watches the innocent and playful behavior of the rabbits. The contrast between the soldier's stern military uniform and the gentle, unassuming rabbits highlights the human element of war and the fleeting moments of levity that can be found even in the most challenging of circumstances. This photograph, taken around 1915, is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the early years of World War One and the experiences of the soldiers who fought in it. The red pantalons and kepi worn by the soldier are traditional elements of the French military uniform of the time, adding authenticity and historical context to the image. The snow-covered landscape further emphasizes the harsh conditions endured by the soldiers during their service. Overall, "Qui Va La?" is a captivating and thought-provoking image that invites viewers to reflect on the human experiences of war and the unexpected moments of joy and wonder that can be found even in the most challenging of circumstances.
