EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the commander and officers of the 1st Colonial Battalion of Morocco, gathered on a terrace in Kasba Tadla in October 1914. The serene scene belies the grim fate that awaited these men, as all those surrounding the battalion chief were either killed or wounded during operations in France during the First World War. The 1st Battalion, part of the French colonial forces in Morocco, was one of the many units deployed to the European front in 1914. Dressed in their military uniforms, the officers exude an air of authority and confidence, their stern expressions hinting at the gravity of the situation they were about to face. The apparel of the time is evident in the high collars, tight-fitting jackets, and brass buttons that adorn their uniforms. The location of the photograph, Kasba Tadla in present-day Beni Mellal, Morocco, is a reminder of the far-reaching impact of the war, which extended beyond the battlefields of Europe. The image is a poignant testament to the sacrifices made by the colonial troops during the conflict, and a snapshot of a bygone era in military history. The photograph is from the Collection de la Guerre IV, published in the French magazine L'Illustration in 1916, and serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of warfare during the 20th century.
