Delivres!: The Prefect of the Somme Greets His Liberated Administrators in Roye - Press Amid the ruins of war-torn Roye, France, in 1919, the prefect of the Somme region, a symbol of French authority, made a triumphant entrance into the liberated town. In this poignant moment, captured in an image from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919," the prefect is seen greeting his relieved administrators, including a young, intimidated woman and a villager, in the still-German named street. The image, taken in black and white, captures the essence of the liberation and the hope that followed the end of the First World War. The retreating German forces had left behind a trail of destruction, but the arrival of the French prefect signaled the beginning of the town's recovery. The street sign, bearing the name of the occupier, serves as a reminder of the recent past, while the determined expressions of the liberated villagers convey their relief and pride in the return of their French leaders. This powerful photograph, a testament to the enduring spirit of the people, stands as a symbol of the resilience and determination that characterized the French during the First World War.
