EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of camaraderie and determination between two Annam soldiers, serving with the French army during World War One. Annam, now a part of modern-day Vietnam, was a French protectorate from 1887 to 1945. In 1917, as the world was embroiled in the Great War, these two soldiers, dressed in their French military uniforms, stood together, ready to fight for a cause that transcended their national boundaries. The 20th century was a pivotal time in world history, marked by significant political, social, and military transformations. The First World War, in particular, brought about profound changes to the global order, shaping the course of the 20th century and beyond. The involvement of Annam soldiers in this global conflict underscores the complex and multifaceted nature of colonialism and its impact on the lives of individuals and communities. These soldiers, hailing from a far-off land, likely faced unique challenges as they adapted to a new environment and culture while serving in the French army. Their uniforms, bearing the insignia of the French military, symbolize their commitment and loyalty to the French cause, even as they represented the diverse tapestry of the global military effort during World War One. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical connections between Vietnam and France, as well as the broader global context of the First World War. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of colonialism, military service, and the shared human experiences that transcend national borders.
