EDITORS COMMENTS
L'Apotheose du Soldat; le 11 novembre 1920: The Arrival of the Unknown Soldier at the Pantheon This poignant photograph captures a significant moment in French history, as the Unknown Soldier, carried by eight adjutants-chefs, approaches the Pantheon in Paris on the 11th of November 1920. The Unknown Soldier, a symbol of the sacrifices made by the French military during World War I, was being brought to the Pantheon for a grand commemorative ceremony. The image is part of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The Unknown Soldier is surrounded by a sea of soldiers, forming a triumphal procession of honor, with eight hundred flags from the army creating a backdrop of red, white, and blue. The building of the Pantheon, a historic mausoleum in Paris, looms in the background, a symbol of peace and remembrance. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War, and the importance of commemoration and remembrance in the aftermath of conflict. The Unknown Soldier's journey from the battlefield to the Pantheon represents the journey of all soldiers who fell during the war, and the enduring gratitude of the French people for their service and sacrifice. The photograph is a testament to the symbolic power of the image, and the enduring impact of the First World War on French society. It is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the importance of remembering and honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
