EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in French history as General Charles de Gaulle reviews his troops on Bastille Day, 14 July 1940. Amid the backdrop of the Second World War, this image serves as a testament to de Gaulle's unwavering determination and resilience in the face of adversity. Born on November 22, 1890, de Gaulle was a French military officer, statesman, and the 18th President of France. As the situation in France worsened during the summer of 1940, de Gaulle, who had been a senior military commander, refused to accept the defeatist attitude of the French government and instead chose to rally the Free French Forces. Despite the somber atmosphere that hung over the country during this time, the crowds in this photograph reflect a sense of pride and hope as they look on at their charismatic leader. The image, taken from The War in Pictures, First Year archive, is a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance displayed by de Gaulle and the French people during a tumultuous period in history. As the Second World War raged on, de Gaulle continued to lead the Free French Forces from exile, eventually returning to France in 1944 to help rebuild the country. This vintage photograph, with its timeless quality and historical significance, offers a glimpse into the past and the indomitable spirit of a man who would go down in history as a symbol of French resistance and fortitude.
