EDITORS COMMENTS
This souvenir postcard, dated circa 1916, celebrates the Victory at the Battle of the Marne during World War I. The Battle of the Marne, which took place from September 6 to 12, 1914, was a major turning point in the war as it prevented the German army from advancing on Paris and marked the end of the German offensive in the west. The postcard features an oval portrait of a French soldier, proudly holding a tricolor flag and wearing a medal on his chest. The soldier stands against a backdrop of a map depicting the Battle of the Marne, with the towns of Fère-Champenoise and Dormans highlighted. The border of the postcard is adorned with intricate designs and the words "Victoire - Bataille de la Marne" (Victory - Battle of the Marne) inscribed at the top. The Battle of the Marne was a hard-fought battle, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The French and British forces, led by General Joffre, managed to halt the German advance and push them back, resulting in a strategic victory for the Allies. The Battle of the Marne is considered a significant victory in the history of World War I and is commemorated in various ways, including this souvenir postcard. This postcard serves as a reminder of the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Marne and the importance of this victory in the outcome of the war. The use of a map and the depiction of a French soldier with a flag and medal add to the historical significance of the postcard and make it a valuable piece of World War I memorabilia.
