EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of Canadians from France between the years 1915 and 1920, during the tumultuous period of the First World War. The men in this image are dressed in military uniforms, standing on board a ship with a direct gaze towards the camera. Their attire reflects the fashion clothing of that era, with coats and overcoats adding to their distinguished appearance.
The creator of this powerful image is George Graham Bain, known for his press photography during significant historical events. The glass negative used to capture this moment has preserved it for posterity, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the heritage artistry of Bain News Service.
As we observe these French Canadian men on deck, ready for travel or transport during wartime, we can't help but feel a sense of admiration for their courage and determination. This group portrait serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals from different countries during World War I.
Located at the Library of Congress, this photograph is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the experiences of Canadians serving in France during one of the most challenging periods in modern history. It stands as a testament to their bravery and resilience in the face of adversity.
