Enfin seuls...! Alone at last...!
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the tender moment between a soldier, a Poilu, and a young girl during the Journe du Poilu on December 25 and 26, 1915. Organized by the French parliament, this event was an opportunity for soldiers to take a brief respite from the frontlines during the holiday season. In the photograph, the Poilu, dressed in his military uniform, embraces the girl with a look of deep affection. The intimacy of their moment is interrupted only by the presence of a sewing machine and a tipped chair in the background. A small dog, perhaps a companion to the girl, sits in the left-hand corner, observing the scene with a curious expression. The caption "Enfin seuls...! Alone at last...!" speaks to the longing and desire for companionship and normalcy that both the soldier and the girl must have felt during the chaos and uncertainty of wartime. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of cherishing the moments of connection and love that can be found even in the most challenging of circumstances. This poster, dated 1915, provides a glimpse into the personal stories of those affected by the First World War and the ways in which they found solace and comfort in each other during the holiday season. The image is a powerful testament to the enduring human spirit and the capacity for love and connection, even in the face of adversity.
