EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, we witness a powerful moment of compassion and honor amidst the chaos of World War I. The image captures a French general visiting a badly wounded soldier in a hospital to present him with a medal. The year is 1915, and the war has ravaged countless lives on the Western Front. The soldier lies in his bed, bandaged and visibly weakened by his injuries. Despite his suffering, he displays remarkable courage as he receives the medal from the general. In their exchange, we can almost hear the soldier's words echoing: "La Medaille Militaire, mon général, c'est debout qu'il convient de la recevoir" - "The Military Medal should be received standing". This scene speaks volumes about duty and heroism within armed forces during times of conflict. It serves as both propaganda for patriotic fervor and an acknowledgement of sacrifice made by soldiers like this brave young man. Surrounded by nurses tending to other casualties in the background, this image reminds us of the immense challenges faced by medical personnel during wartime. Their dedication to saving lives is evident in every bandage wrapped around wounded limbs. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot captured through Damblans' color litho technique, it transports us back to that tumultuous period when France fought valiantly for its survival. This print serves as a testament to bravery on both sides of battlelines while honoring those who paid such high prices for their service.
