EDITORS COMMENTS
At Grand Quartier General: Daily Briefing in the Office of the General Commander-in-Chief, 1917 This evocative photograph captures a moment of intense focus and strategic planning during the First World War. Taken in the office of the General Commander-in-Chief at Grand Quartier General (G.Q.G.) in Compiègne, France, during the summer of 1917, the image shows a group of high-ranking military officers gathered around a large table, deep in discussion. At the head of the table stands General Philippe Pétain, a prominent French military leader who would later become the Chief of the French Army General Staff and, ultimately, the French Marshal. To his right, Colonel de Cointet and Colonel Serrigny are seen engaged in a serious conversation, while General de Barescut, Colonel Zeller, and Colonel Duval listen intently. The atmosphere is one of concentration and purpose, as the officers absorb the information presented before them. The room itself is furnished with a simple yet elegant decor, with a large map on the wall behind the table providing a visual representation of the battlefield. The overall effect is one of a well-oiled military machine, with each officer playing a crucial role in the larger military effort. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of the First World War, providing a glimpse into the daily operations of the French military command during a pivotal moment in history. The image is taken from 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924.
