EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Periple des Russes: De Moscou a Marseille par la Siberie, les Mers de Chine et des Indes et le Canal de Suez," translated to "The Voyage of the Russians: From Moscow to Marseille via Siberia, the China Seas and the Indies and the Suez Canal," is an intriguing photograph from the First World War era. The image, taken in 1916, is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" from the French publication "L'Illustration," specifically from the tome CXLVII, covering the war months of January, February, March, April, May, and June of that year. The photograph captures a group of Russian soldiers making their way through the bustling streets of Colombo, Sri Lanka, on March 19. Their uniforms and equipment suggest that they are part of the Russian military, likely on their way to or from the Eastern Front. The soldiers are surrounded by a crowd of local people, some of whom are watching the soldiers with curiosity, while others seem to be offering goods or services. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the global reach of the First World War and the diverse experiences of those who were caught up in the conflict. The soldiers' long journey from Russia to Sri Lanka would have been fraught with challenges, including harsh weather, difficult terrain, and logistical obstacles. The image also highlights the connections between different parts of the world during this period, as soldiers and supplies traveled across continents to support the war effort. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the creator of the photograph, it is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the human side of the First World War. The image invites us to consider the experiences of the soldiers and civilians who were impacted by the conflict, and the ways in which their lives intersected in unexpected places like Colombo, Sri Lanka.
