EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a historic Citroen Caterpillar half-track vehicle, which defied the odds and successfully traversed the vast and inhospitable Sahara Desert in 1922-1923. The vehicle, on display at the prestigious Army Museum (Musee de l'Armee) at the Hotel des Invalides in Paris, France, travelled an astonishing 3200km between Touggourt, Algeria, and Timbuctu in Mali. During this daring expedition, the intrepid explorers, led by French military officer, Captain Paul-Emile Victor, endured the harsh desert terrain for 22 consecutive days. The Citroen Caterpillar, with its distinctive tracked design, proved to be an indispensable asset in navigating the unforgiving sands. This groundbreaking journey took place between December 17, 1922, and January 7, 1923, and marked a significant achievement in automotive history. The Citroen Caterpillar's successful crossing of the Sahara Desert demonstrated the vehicle's unparalleled endurance and adaptability, paving the way for future advancements in off-road transportation. The Citroen Caterpillar's legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration, standing as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. This iconic vehicle, now a cherished exhibit at the Army Museum, invites us to reflect on the spirit of adventure and the unyielding human will to overcome the challenges of the natural world.
