EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures General Tasker Howard Bliss, a pivotal figure in the American military during the First World War. Born in 1853, Bliss rose through the ranks to become the Chief of Staff of the United States Army towards the end of the conflict. In this image, taken at Versailles, France in April 1918, Bliss is depicted in his full military regalia, exuding authority and determination. The backdrop of the historic Hall of Mirrors adds an air of grandeur and significance to the photograph. As the United States entered the war in 1917, Bliss played a crucial role in organizing and mobilizing the American Expeditionary Forces. He oversaw the training of over two million soldiers and the deployment of hundreds of thousands to the European theater. Bliss' leadership and strategic acumen proved invaluable in the final months of the war, as the Allied forces made their final push towards victory. This photograph is a testament to Bliss' remarkable military career and his contributions to the Allied victory in the First World War. The portrait also serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Versailles as a symbol of peace and diplomacy, following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Overall, this image offers a unique glimpse into the people and events that shaped the course of history during the First World War.
