EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the ruins of war, a moment of peace: American soldiers stand at the edge of the Moselle River in the picturesque town of Cochem, Germany, on December 24, 1918, just after the end of the First World War. The men, dressed in their military uniforms, gaze out at the tranquil water as they take a break from the chaos of the post-war world. The hillside town, nestled along the Rhine-Moselle riverbanks, is adorned with its iconic, great castle, which stands proudly atop a hill, a symbol of the town's resilience and enduring history. The American troops, mounted on horses, are part of the Rhineland Occupation Force, which was sent to Germany to enforce the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The soldiers' presence in Cochem marked the beginning of a new era for the town and the region, as the Rhineland was placed under Allied occupation for 15 years following the war. The serene scene along the Moselle River offers a brief respite from the harsh realities of war, capturing a moment of camaraderie and reflection as the soldiers take in the breathtaking views of the Rhine Valley. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and transformative period following the end of the First World War and the beginning of a new chapter in European history.
