The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1926, captures the essence of the early days of the war, with soldiers and their brigade commanders making their way into the town of Thann, located in the Haut-Rhin department of Alsace, France. The photograph depicts a group of soldiers, their rifles adorned with flowers, marching in formation towards the camera, while an officer on horseback and his staff follow closely behind.
