EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we see a French army soldier radiating pure joy. The soldier's face is adorned with an infectious smile that reaches his eyes, reflecting the genuine happiness he feels in this moment. And what could be the cause of such elation? It seems to lie within the steaming bowl of soup held delicately in his hands. The caption reveals that not only is the soldier relishing every spoonful of the delicious soup, but there is also news that his ready pay will be doubled. This increase in salary brings about a sense of contentment and relief for our protagonist, as it signifies recognition and appreciation for his dedication to serving his country. This extraordinary image was featured in "L'illustrious du Petiret Journal" back in 1936 and has been preserved by an anonymous private collector. The historical significance of this photo lies not only in its portrayal of military life but also as a testament to the struggles faced by soldiers during that era. Photographer Stefano Bianchetti masterfully captures both the human side of war and the impact it has on individuals. Through this print, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by brave men like our jubilant soldier who find solace even amidst challenging circumstances.
