EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history during World War 1. Taken in Sempst, Belgium in 1914, it showcases the French army stationed at the frontlines. The image portrays riflemen positioned at outposts with their powerful mitrailleuses, commonly known as grape shooters in English. The soldiers stand tall and resolute, ready to defend their position against any potential threat. Their uniforms bear the proud insignia of France, representing their allegiance to their country and dedication to the cause. Mounted artillery guns can be seen behind them, emphasizing the military might they possess. The French caption accompanying this print translates to "Les carabiniers mitraillent. Aux avant-postes" which means "The riflemen shoot grape shots at outposts". This further highlights the intense nature of warfare during this time period.
