EDITORS COMMENTS
October 1915: A Moment of Strategic Importance in the Alsatian Campaign - General Maudhuy, Commander of the Army of the Vosges, Addresses Two Identical French Infantrymen This evocative photograph, taken by an unknown photographer in October 1915, captures a pivotal moment in the Alsatian Campaign of World War I. The image depicts General Maudhuy, Commander of the Army of the Vosges, standing between two almost identical French infantrymen in the snow-covered region of Alsace. The significance of this photograph lies in the historical context of the time. The Alsatian Campaign, also known as the Battle of the Vosges, was a series of battles fought between the French and German armies in the Vosges Mountains. The campaign began in August 1914 and continued until the end of the war in 1918. The region of Alsace had been under German control since 1871 but was annexed back to France following the Armistice of Compiègne in 1918. General Maudhuy, a decorated military leader, is seen here addressing his troops with an air of determination and resolve. The two infantrymen, dressed in their winter uniforms, listen intently to their commander's words. The similarity between their appearance highlights the uniformity and discipline of the French military during this period. The photograph, which is part of the Illustrated London News (ILN) collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. The image not only captures the spirit of the French military during this critical moment in history but also serves as a testament to the enduring bond between commanders and their troops.
