EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of the First World War, as refugees from the North of France disembark from a tram in Annemasse, Haute-Savoie, in 1916. The image, titled "Les rapatries du Nord de France a Annemasse (Haute-Savoie); une arrivee de rapatries," was published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" during the war. The refugees, who had been displaced from their homes due to the conflict, are seen here waiting at the last stop before reaching France. Among the crowd, children, elderly men and women, and families huddle together, their faces etched with exhaustion and uncertainty. The tram, which had brought them from Geneva, Switzerland, now serves as a symbol of their long and arduous journey. The photograph offers a glimpse into the human cost of war, as these individuals begin a new chapter in their lives, having been uprooted from their homes and forced to seek refuge in a foreign land. The image is a poignant reminder of the displacement and migration that occurred during the First World War, and serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit.
