EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment of the signing of the Armistice that brought an end to the First World War. The scene unfolds in the Compiegne Forest of Northern France on 11 November 1918. Marshal Foch, the Allied Supreme Commander, stands outside a railway carriage, surrounded by key military figures. To his right is Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, the First Sea Lord of the British Admiralty, and General Weygand, the French Army's Chief of Staff. Vice-Admiral Hope, Captain Marriott, General Desticker, Captain de Mierry, Kommandant Riedinger, and an interpreting officer, Laperche, are also present. The signing took place in this carriage, which was provided by the Germans, marking the formal surrender of the German military forces. The Armistice brought relief and jubilation to the war-weary populace, and this image stands as a testament to the end of one of the most devastating conflicts in human history.
