EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Nos recrues d'Asie, d'Afrique et d'Océanie; En Afrique occidentale : un palabre aux recrues..." (Our recruits from Asia, Africa and Oceania; In West Africa: a palaver with the recruits...), was published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916, during the First World War. The image captures a group of African recruits gathered around a man, likely a French officer or recruiting sergeant, in a village in the Issa-ber region of the Niger Bend in West Africa. The recruits, dressed in various traditional African attire, listen intently to the speaker, who holds a map or a chart in his hand. The photograph provides a glimpse into the recruitment efforts of the French military in Africa during the war, with men from diverse ethnic backgrounds and regions coming together to answer the call to serve. The image is a poignant reminder of the global reach and impact of the First World War, as well as the complex and multifaceted nature of colonial military forces during this period. The photograph is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" (War Collection IV) in the "L'Illustration" archive, and offers a valuable historical record of this significant moment in world history.
