EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment at the end of the First World War, as a victorious Irish guard receives his well-deserved decoration from Madeleine, the personification of the French State. Dated circa 1918, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the camaraderie and gratitude that existed between the Allied forces during this tumultuous time in history. The Irish guard, dressed in his distinctive uniform complete with bearskin hat and rifle with fixed bayonet, stands tall and proud, a picture of strength and resilience. His smile radiates happiness and relief, a testament to the joy of surviving the horrors of war. Madeleine, representing the French State, is depicted as a regal and compassionate figure, her expression filled with warmth and appreciation. The scene is one of triumph and unity, as the two figures come together in a symbolic gesture of appreciation and respect. The title "Take this back to Tipperary" adds an emotional layer to the image, as the Irish guard is reminded of his homeland and the loved ones he will soon be reunited with. This archetypal image of victory and homecoming continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and the enduring bonds formed between the Allied forces.
