EDITORS COMMENTS
Fete de la Victoire: Paris, France - A Solemn Moment of Remembrance on the 14th of July, 1919 This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the Fete de la Victoire celebrations in Paris, France, on the 14th of July, 1919. The President of France, Raymond Poincare (1860-1934), is seen here in solemn reflection as he lays a wreath at the base of the War Memorial. Accompanied by other officials, Poincare pays tribute to the fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country during the First World War. The Fete de la Victoire, also known as the Victory Day Parade, was an annual military and civic celebration held in France to commemorate the end of the First World War. The event was first held on 14 July 1919, and the tradition continued until 1940. The War Memorial, located in the heart of Paris, stands as a testament to the sacrifices made by the French people during the war. This photograph offers a glimpse into a significant moment in French history, as the nation came together to honor its fallen heroes and celebrate the end of a devastating conflict. The solemnity of the scene is a stark contrast to the joyous celebrations that would follow, as the people of France looked towards a hopeful future.
