Le 'Soldat Inconnu' Italien; la locomotive du train qui ramena le corps d'Aquilee a Rome, 1921
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and historically significant photograph from the aftermath of the First World War. The image, created by an unknown photographer, captures a steam locomotive carrying the coffins of fallen Italian soldiers from the Battle of Caporetto, also known as the Battle of the Solsolico River, which took place in northeastern Italy in 1917. The soldiers' remains were being transported from Aquileia to Rome for a grand funeral and commemoration in the Italian capital. The photograph is a powerful symbol of the sacrifices made during the war and the mourning process that followed. The image of the locomotive, with its billowing smoke and the somber scene of the coffins being carried, evokes a sense of solemnity and respect. The photograph is also a testament to the important role that railways played during the war, not only in transporting troops and supplies but also in the transportation of the dead. The photograph was first published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, a French publication based in Paris, in 1924. The image has since become a cherished piece of history, commemorating the sacrifices made by the Italian soldiers during the First World War and serving as a reminder of the human cost of war. Despite the passage of time, the photograph continues to resonate with viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring impact of war on individuals and nations.
