EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les debuts des troupes Russes sur le front Francais de Champagne; Un blessé léger" (The First Appearance of Russian Troops on the French Front in Champagne; A Lightly Wounded Man), was published in the French illustrated weekly magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916. The image documents the arrival of the Russian Expeditionary Force on the Western Front during World War I, specifically in the Champagne region of France. The Russian soldiers, dressed in heavy winter uniforms, are seen disembarking from trains and trucks, while a wounded soldier rests on a makeshift stretcher, his morale seemingly low. The image captures the raw reality of the war, with the soldiers' weary expressions and the stark contrast between the soldiers in uniform and the wounded man in civilian clothing. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Allied forces during the First World War, particularly the Russian army, which suffered heavy losses on the Eastern and Western Fronts. The image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" in "L'Illustration," which documented the war from July to December 1916. The creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding to the historical intrigue of this powerful image.
