"Remembering the First World War: A Glimpse into History" Step back in time to a village in Alsace during the First World War, 1914. Through an illustration, witness the turmoil and devastation that engulfed this region. In 1915, France called upon its citizens with a powerful poster - "WW1: For France, pour your gold, gold fight for victory. " The nation's resilience shone through as they united to support their troops. The haunting image of wounded soldiers at Passchendaele in 1918 is captured on canvas. This oil painting serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless brave individuals during this brutal conflict. Amongst the leaders who guided France through these tumultuous times were General Victor Louis Lucien D'Urbal, General Louis Ernest De Maud'Huy, General Jean Frederic Lucien Piarron De Mondesir, General Henri Ambert Niessel, General Charles Lanrezac, General Charles Nollet, and General Frederic Hellot. Their photos from the early 20th century depict determination and strength amidst chaos. Marechal Joseph Gallieni's photograph stands as a tribute to his leadership and sacrifice until his death in 1916. His contribution played a vital role in shaping history during this war. General Paul Prosper Henrys' photo reminds us of those who strategized tirelessly behind the scenes. These brilliant minds worked towards achieving victory while ensuring minimal loss of life. As we reflect on these images from over a century ago, let us honor those who fought bravely during the First World War. Their courage and resilience continue to inspire generations today.
