EDITORS COMMENTS
La Croix de Guerre de Soeur Louise, de Nancy: Honoring the Valiant Superior of the Civil Hospital in 1916. (Unknown, "La Croix de Guerre de Soeur Louise, de Nancy; on felicite la vaillante supérieure de l'hopital civil, sur le collet de laquelle M. Poincaré, le 7 janvier, epingla la propre Croix de Guerre du général commandant l'armée," Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916) This photograph captures a poignant moment during the First World War, as Sister Louise of Nancy is honored with the Croix de Guerre for her exceptional leadership at the Civil Hospital. The image, published in L'Illustration in 1916, shows Sister Louise proudly wearing the medal pinned on her collar by none other than the French President, Raymond Poincaré. The Croix de Guerre, or War Cross, is a decoration awarded to both military personnel and civilians for acts of bravery and merit during the First World War. Sister Louise's receipt of this prestigious award is a testament to her courage and dedication to the wounded soldiers and civilians under her care during the conflict. The photograph captures the gravity of the moment, with the stark contrast between the formal attire of President Poincaré and the simple, religious habit of Sister Louise highlighting the unique roles they played during the war. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and heroism that took place during this tumultuous time in history. The photograph's provenance is unknown, but it is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the First World War, military history, or the role of women and religious figures during wartime. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of bravery and resilience that defined the First World War, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Sister Louise during this pivotal moment in history.
