EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history during World War One. In the midst of the fierce Dardanelles campaign, General Gourand, Commander-In-Chief of the French forces, and General de Amade are seen leaving on board a French destroyer after visiting Admiral de Roebeck on HMS Lord Nelson. As they stand at attention, their uniforms crisply pressed and medals gleaming under the sun's rays, these distinguished military leaders pay tribute to their nation by saluting during the playing of the French National Anthem. The solemnity etched upon their faces reflects both determination and reverence for their country's cause. Taken circa June 1915 by Official Ernest Brooks, this photograph encapsulates not only an important diplomatic visit but also showcases camaraderie between allied forces amidst war-torn Gallipoli. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of conflict, unity among nations can prevail. The backdrop features mighty naval vessels dotting the horizon—a testament to France's commitment to maritime power during this tumultuous period. This image stands as a symbol of resilience against adversity—French commanders embarking on yet another perilous mission with unwavering resolve.
