EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment during the First World War, as King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy visits France at the end of September 1917. The Italian monarch, dressed in military attire, is seen presenting the Order of Military Valor to the 3rd Zouaves regiment near Verdun. The flag of the regiment, adorned with the distinctive red, white, and green colors of the Italian flag, is prominently displayed. The ceremony took place in the Meuse-Lorraine region of France, near the infamous battlefield of Verdun, where some of the fiercest fighting of the war had taken place. The King's visit was a significant gesture of solidarity and recognition for the bravery and sacrifices of the French and Italian soldiers during the conflict. This photograph is taken from the pages of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919," published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924. The image captures the solemnity and importance of the occasion, with the King and soldiers standing at attention, their faces expressing a sense of pride and duty. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the shared history and experiences of the Italian and French people during the 20th century.
