EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard from 1908 captures a moment in history when French legionnaire colonial soldiers were hard at work building accommodation at a base in Casablanca, Morocco. The image provides a glimpse into the life of these brave men who served in the French Foreign Legion during the era of colonialism.
The soldiers are seen diligently constructing buildings against the backdrop of the bustling city of Casablanca. Their uniforms and tools speak to their dedication and discipline as they carry out their duties far away from home.
This photograph is not just a snapshot of construction work, but also a reminder of the complex dynamics of power and control that characterized European imperialism in Africa. The French empire extended its reach to Morocco, seeking to exert influence and establish military presence in this North African country.
As we look back on this historical moment, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these legionnaires as they carried out their mission in foreign lands. Their legacy lives on through images like this one, which serve as a testament to their courage and commitment to serving their country.
