EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a poignant moment during the First World War as French President Raymond Poincare (1860-1934) decorates wounded soldiers at the Invalides in Paris, circa 1915. Poincare, dressed in a formal suit and wearing a sash adorned with the Legion of Honor insignia, bestows medals upon brave soldiers who have distinguished themselves in battle. The soldiers, some with bandaged heads and limbs, display proud and determined expressions as they receive their decorations. The Invalides, a historic military hospital and retirement home for veterans, served as a symbol of France's commitment to its wounded heroes. The decoration ceremony was a testament to the country's appreciation for the sacrifices made by its soldiers during the Great War. The image is a powerful reminder of the special bond between the French people and their military, and the resilience and heroism displayed by the soldiers during this time of war.
