Le 'Soldat Inconnu' Americain; au Havre - le transport du cercueil a bord de l'Olympia
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Unknown American Soldier; at Havre: the transport of the coffin on board the Olympia, 1921) is a poignant and symbolic photograph from the aftermath of the First World War. The image, captured in black and white, depicts a group of American soldiers carrying a coffin onto the deck of the French cruiser, USS Olympia, at the port of Havre, France. The coffin is draped in the American flag, and the soldiers are surrounded by a sea of other flags, including the French tricolour. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the United States during the war, and the respect and honor shown to the fallen soldiers. The image was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, a French publication, in 1924. The exact circumstances of the photograph are unknown, but it is believed to have been taken during the postwar period, as the USS Olympia was in France from 1919 to 1922 as part of the Occupation Forces. The photograph is a poignant symbol of the peace that followed the war, as well as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers from both sides during the conflict. The image is a powerful commemoration of the fallen soldiers, and a testament to the enduring bond between France and the United States during a time of great upheaval and change. The photograph is also a reminder of the importance of remembering and honoring the sacrifices made by soldiers during times of war, and the enduring symbolism of the flags that represent their countries and their values.
