EDITORS COMMENTS
The haunting image captured in this WW1 French Patriotic postcard speaks volumes about the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Great War. The powerful message, "In your accounts have you allowed for the price of my blood and the blood of my brothers?" serves as a stark reminder to those who sought to crush France that their efforts will not be easily forgotten.
The deceased French soldier depicted in the print appears to rise from his grave, symbolizing a resurrection of sorts. His Christ-like pose conveys a sense of defiance and determination, as if he is warning his German killers that France will not be defeated so easily.
This poignant image encapsulates the bravery and resilience of those who fought and died for their country during WW1. It serves as a tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice, reminding us of the debt we owe to these courageous men and women.
As we reflect on this powerful image, let us remember the countless lives lost during World War I and honor their memory by never forgetting the price paid for our freedom. May we always strive to uphold their legacy and ensure that their sacrifices were not in vain.
