EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the return of Officers of the Foreign Legion at Trieste from their service with the Boers. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 22,1900. In this photograph, we see a group of distinguished officers proudly posing for the camera. Among them are Captain Max Schiffie, Count Pecci, Lieutenant Simon, Major Joseph, Count Villeneuve de la Colette, Colonel Camillo Ricchiardi, and many others. Each officer represents different sections such as engineers section or Hungarian squadron. The men stand tall and resolute in their military uniforms while displaying medals and insignias earned during their service. Their camaraderie is evident as they gather together to commemorate their return from duty with the Boers. The backdrop of Trieste adds to the historical significance of this image. Known for its strategic location on Italy's northeastern coast near Sicily, Trieste served as an important port city during various military campaigns. This print not only captures a momentous occasion but also serves as a testament to bravery and sacrifice exhibited by these officers serving far away from home. It stands as a reminder of their dedication to duty and loyalty towards their respective nations.
