Adolphe Commissioned Fourth Landsturm Officers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of non-commissioned officers of the Landsturm, the German military reserve force, during World War I. The Landsturm was formed in 1916 as the war effort intensified and more manpower was needed. Unlike the regular army, the Landsturm was made up of older men and those who had previously been rejected for military service due to age or health issues. The men in this image are dressed in various uniforms, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of the Landsturm soldiers. Among them is Adolphe, who is seen here in the fourth position from the left in the back row. His expression is serious, yet determined, a testament to the resolve of these men to serve their country in its time of need. The Landsturm played an important role in the final stages of the war, participating in numerous battles and engagements. Despite their lack of formal military training and resources, they proved to be valuable assets to the German war effort. This photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these ordinary men who answered the call to duty, and the crucial role they played in shaping the outcome of the First World War. This historical photograph, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique insight into the experiences of the Landsturm and the men who served in it. It is a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of those who answered the call to duty during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty.
