EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'L'Union Cordiale des Allies; Le Roi Albert et M. Poincare a Furnes le 1er Novembre 1914', captures a significant moment during the early stages of the First World War. The image shows King Albert I of Belgium (1875-1934), dressed in military uniform, standing alongside French President Raymond Poincaré (1860-1912) in front of the Town Hall in Furnes, West Flanders, Belgium. The date, November 1, 1914, marks the signing of the Union Sacrée (Sacred Union) between Belgium and France, an alliance aimed at defending the neutrality of Belgium against German invasion. The black and white image showcases the men in their formal attire, with King Albert I wearing a tri-colored Belgian military uniform and Poincaré in a French military uniform. The architecture of the Town Hall serves as an impressive backdrop, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The image also features a group of soldiers in the background, emphasizing the military nature of the event. The Union Cordiale des Allies, or the Sacred Union of the Allies, was a crucial moment in the history of both Belgium and France as it marked the beginning of their alliance, which would last throughout the war. The photograph is a testament to the unity and determination of the Allied forces during this critical time in history.
