EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment when two renowned French military commanders, General Joseph Joffre and General Louis Ernest de Maud'huy, met on a street in St Pol, northern France, during the First World War. Dated 1915, the image finds the two generals in full military regalia, their uniforms adorned with the insignia of their high rank. The corner of a car can be seen in the background, a reminder of the modern technology that played a crucial role in the war effort. General Joffre, born in 1852, was the French Commander-in-Chief from August 1914 to December 1916. He is best known for his strategic planning and leadership during the early stages of the war, particularly the Battle of the Marne, which is credited with halting the German advance on Paris. General Maud'huy, born in 1857, served as the commander of the 1st Army Corps from 1914 to 1916. He played a significant role in the defense of the northern French coast during the early part of the war. The two generals' meeting in St Pol likely took place during a military inspection or a visit to the front lines. The soldiers in the background, also in uniform, attest to the ever-present military presence during the Great War. The image offers a glimpse into the world of the First World War, a time of great sacrifice and determination as the Allied forces fought to preserve peace and freedom.
