EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the heartwarming moment of reunion between a soldier and his fiancée in the aftermath of the First World War. The scene unfolds on the cobblestone streets of Alsace, France, in the late 1910s. The soldier, dressed in the uniform of the Chasseurs Alpins, a renowned French mountain infantry regiment, returns home to be reunited with his beloved Alsatian fiancée. She is resplendent in traditional Alsatian costume, adorned with a distinctive winged headdress and carrying a bag. The racial types of the man and woman, both European, stand out against the backdrop of the post-war European landscape. The couple's joyous reunion is a testament to the enduring bond between them, as they share a tender embrace on the pavement. The image, evocative of the 1920s and the 20s, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and the triumph of love in the face of adversity. This photograph is a precious piece of history, capturing a moment in time that resonates with us even today.
