EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of rest and recreation for the French Foreign Legion soldiers stationed in Sidi Bel Abbes, Algeria, in 1910. The image, taken as a postcard, showcases a group of legionnaires engaging in martial arts training in a lush, shaded park setting. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen practicing various moves and techniques, their focus and determination evident on their faces. The serene atmosphere of the scene contrasts with the military context, as the men take a break from their duties in the foreign land. The trees and plants in the background add a sense of tranquility and natural beauty to the image. The photograph was likely sent as a communication back home, serving as a reminder of the daily life and experiences of the French soldiers abroad. The postcard bears the stamp of the French postal service, further emphasizing its role as a means of connection between loved ones. This historic photograph is a testament to the human side of warfare, showcasing the soldiers' dedication, discipline, and the importance of recreation and connection to home.
