EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures fighter pilot Gervais Raoul Lufbery paying tribute to his fallen comrade, Georges Guynemer, at a memorial in 1917 or 1918.

The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and respect among these brave men who risked their lives daily for their countries. Lufbery's stoic expression reflects the gravity of war and the sacrifices made by those who serve in the armed forces.
