EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during a visit of French President Raymond Poincare to the Italian front lines in 1917, prior to the Italian Offensive of Isonzo. The scene unfolds at the Italian army headquarters, with King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, Poincare, and a Captain of the Bersaglieri in attendance. The Captain, standing proudly at attention, is being decorated with a medal or ribbon, likely for his bravery and service in the ongoing battles of the Isonzo. The King and Poincare look on with solemn expressions, their gazes fixed on the soldier, as they pay tribute to his dedication and sacrifice. The image is a poignant reminder of the camaraderie and unity between the Allied forces during the First World War. The photograph was published in the French illustrated magazine "L'Illustration" in 1924, as part of the series "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919." This historic moment in time is preserved in this timeless image, a testament to the courage and resilience of the soldiers and leaders who fought on the Italian front during the 1910s.
