L'Appel des Morts; le 21 aout 1919, a Rouen, sur la place de l'Hotel-de-Ville, la 5e division du 3e corps d'Armee fait l'appel de ses morts
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Call of the Dead; August 21, 1919, Rouen, Place de l'Hotel-de-Ville, the 5th division of the 3rd corps army pays tribute to its dead) is a poignant and historic photograph taken in the aftermath of World War I. The image, captured in black and white, portrays a solemn and moving scene as soldiers of the French army gather on the Place de l'Hotel-de-Ville in Rouen, Normandy, to honor their fallen comrades. The backdrop of the photograph is the magnificent Rouen Cathedral, its Gothic architecture standing tall and proud against the grey sky. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, stand at attention, their faces etched with a mixture of sadness, respect, and determination. They are gathered around a large wooden cross, which serves as a symbol of their sacrifice and the ultimate price paid for peace. The date of the photograph, August 21, 1919, marks the end of the war and the beginning of the postwar era. The soldiers are commemorating their fallen comrades, paying homage to the sacrifices made during the conflict. The scene is one of remembrance and reflection, as the nation comes together to honor the dead and look towards the future. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of remembering those who have given their lives in the pursuit of peace. It is a poignant and moving image that continues to resonate with viewers today, over 100 years after it was taken. The photograph is from the album "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The creator of the photograph remains unknown.
