EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated circa 1915, showcases an impressive display of flags from the Allied Powers during World War I. The image highlights the flags of France, Britain, Belgium, Russia, Serbia, and Japan, all proudly flying high against a backdrop of naval pennants and anchors. The French flag, with its tricolor design of blue, white, and red, is prominently displayed in the center, symbolizing the courage and resilience of the French people during the war. To its left, the Union Jack of Great Britain, featuring the red cross of St. George and the white cross of St. Patrick, represents the British Navy's significant role in the Allied forces. Next to the British flag, the Belgian flag, with its black, yellow, and red vertical stripes, pays tribute to the neutral country's eventual involvement in the war after being invaded by Germany. The Russian flag, with its two horizontal stripes of white and red, and the blue field bearing the golden double-headed eagle, represents the vast and powerful Russian army. The Serbian flag, with its blue and white stripes and the golden eagle holding a scepter and a crown, symbolizes the determination and bravery of the Serbian people in the face of adversity. Lastly, the Japanese flag, with its white field and the red rising sun, represents the Far Eastern allies' crucial contribution to the Allied cause. The flags are adorned with various naval pennants and anchors, emphasizing the maritime strength of the Allied Powers. This powerful image evokes a sense of patriotism and unity among the Allied forces during a pivotal moment in world history.
