EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense gaze and resolute determination of General Charles Emmanuel Marie Mangin, a prominent French army officer during the First World War. Born in 1866, Mangin rose through the ranks to become a key military leader, earning the moniker "The Little Corporal" due to his small stature and leadership style reminiscent of Napoleon Bonaparte. Mangin's military career began in 1885 when he joined the 13th Infantry Regiment. He saw action in the Tonkin Campaign in Indochina and later in Madagascar. However, it was during the First World War that Mangin truly made his mark. He led the 13th Colonial Infantry Division in the Battle of Verdun and was instrumental in the capture of the Fort Douaumont, a major German stronghold. Mangin's innovative tactics and unyielding spirit earned him both admiration and controversy. Some hailed him as a hero, while others criticized his methods as reckless. Regardless, there is no denying the impact he had on the battlefield. This powerful image of General Mangin, taken circa 1914-1918, captures the essence of a great military leader in the midst of a great war. With his hands folded behind his back and his piercing eyes fixed on the horizon, Mangin exudes a sense of quiet confidence and unwavering resolve. The photograph is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the French army during this pivotal moment in history.
