Allied Balkans Capture Celebrate Held Kepi Monastir Past Raised Saluting Sarrail Unit
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph and unity among the Allied forces during the First World War, as General Sarrail of the French Army raises his kepi hat in salute to a unit of Russian soldiers during the grand march-past to celebrate the capture of Monastir on December 7, 1916. The town of Monastir, located in modern-day Albania, had been a strategic objective for the Allied forces in the Balkans campaign. With the successful capture of the town, the Allied army, comprised of French, British, Russian, Italian, Romanian, and Serbian troops, came together to celebrate their victory. The image, taken by an unknown photographer for ILN (Illustrated London News), is a testament to the international cooperation and determination that characterized the Allied efforts during the First World War. The soldiers, dressed in their respective uniforms, proudly display their national colors and banners, reflecting the diverse and multinational composition of the Allied army. This photograph is an important historical record of the Allied forces' achievements in the Balkans and their unified front against the Central Powers.
