EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the monument on Place Gambetta in Montreuil sur-Mer, a picturesque town located in the Pas-de-Calais Department of northern France. The monument, which stands proudly near the Hotel-Dieu, is a poignant tribute to the men of Montreuil who lost their lives during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-71. Erected in 1913, the monument features a bronze statue of a French soldier standing atop a plinth, his head bowed in solemn reflection. The intricate details of the soldier's uniform and equipment are clearly visible, adding to the authenticity and historical significance of the monument. The Hotel-Dieu, a historic hospital, can be seen in the background, adding to the rich tapestry of Montreuil's history. The peaceful atmosphere of the town, with its charming streets and historic buildings, is a stark contrast to the turbulent events that the monument commemorates. The Franco-Prussian War, which lasted from 1870 to 1871, was a significant turning point in French history. The defeat of France by the Prussians led to the establishment of the German Empire and the end of the Second French Empire. The war resulted in the loss of many lives, and the construction of monuments like the one in Montreuil served as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and civilians during the conflict. This photograph, taken circa 1913, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Montreuil and the events that shaped its history. The monument stands as a testament to the resilience and courage of the people of Montreuil and the sacrifices they made during the Franco-Prussian War.
