EDITORS COMMENTS
Les Anglais sur le Rhin: "La meprisable petite armée" anglaise franchit le Rhin le 12 décembre 1918" (The English on the Rhine: "The Contemptible Little English Army" Crosses the Rhine on December 12, 1918) is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the final days of the First World War. The image, created by an unknown photographer, depicts a group of British soldiers, led by General Sir Herbert Plumer, crossing the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, Germany. The scene is filled with a sense of triumph and accomplishment, as the soldiers, some mounted on horses, make their way onto the German side of the Rhine. The bridge, a symbol of German power and control, now stands as a testament to the Allied forces' victory. General Plumer, commanding the 2nd Army, is seen in the photograph, with his staff, beneath the pedestal supporting the equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The placement of the British commander and his men beneath the statue, which once represented the German Emperor, adds an extra layer of significance to the image. The photograph is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" (The War Album 1914-1919, Volume 2) published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The black and white image captures the essence of the 1910s and the historical moment, providing a poignant reminder of the end of the First World War and the occupation of German territory by the Allied forces. The photograph features a group of men, dressed in military uniforms, crossing a bridge, with horses and a statue in the background. Keywords associated with the image include the First World War, 2nd Army, 20th century, 1910s, Allied forces, animals, armed forces, army, arrival, bridge, Cologne, Germany, General Plumer, Hohenzollern Bridge, and the Rhine River.
