EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history on July 14, 1909, in La Canee, Greece. French soldiers were being feted and celebrated before their return home, participating in a lively donkey race that added to the festive atmosphere of the day.
The image transports us back to a time when military men could let loose and enjoy some leisurely activities after serving their country. The soldiers are seen wearing their distinguished military uniforms as they engage in friendly competition with the local donkeys.
The scene is filled with excitement and camaraderie as both the soldiers and the spectators cheer on the participants. The backdrop of Crete adds an exotic charm to the event, showcasing the unique beauty of this Greek island.
It's moments like these that remind us of the human side of warfare - moments where soldiers can relax and have fun amidst their duties. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder of history and culture, capturing a snapshot of life in early 20th-century Europe.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation but also a glimpse into a bygone era where even amidst conflict, there was room for celebration and joy.
