EDITORS COMMENTS
Le jour de gloire: The Triumphant Procession of a Thousand Wounded Soldiers Before the Arc de Triomphe and the Cenotaph in 1919 This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment during the triumphant procession of a thousand wounded soldiers, who passed under the Arc de Triomphe and before the Cenotaph in Paris, France, in 1919. The event marked the end of the First World War and was a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Allied forces. The Arc de Triomphe, an iconic symbol of French military history and victory, stands proudly in the background, its grand arches framing the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. The soldiers, some with visible injuries and disabilities, march with determination and pride, their uniforms bearing the marks of their service and sacrifice. The Cenotaph, a monument dedicated to the memory of the fallen soldiers, stands solemnly in the foreground, a reminder of the immense cost of war. The scene is a stark contrast of celebration and remembrance, of victory and loss, as the country honors both the victorious and the fallen. The photograph, titled "Le jour de gloire: precedant le defile militaire, mille mutiles passent les premiers sous l'Arc de Triomphe et devant le Cenotaphe," was published in the French magazine L'Illustration in 1924 as part of their album of the First World War. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the enduring spirit of the soldiers who survived it.
