EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Les Evenements de Grece; Le 12 juin 1917, a 17 heures: la cavalerie et le materiel debarques sur le quai militaire au Piree' (Events in Greece; cavalry and equipment arrive on the military dock at Piraeus, 5pm, 12 June 1917), is a poignant reminder of the First World War's impact on Greece and its people. The image, published in 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, captures a significant moment in history as soldiers and their horses disembark from ships at the Quai Militaire in Piraeus, Attica, Greece. The steamships in the background, filled with soldiers, military equipment, and supplies, illustrate the vast logistical efforts required to support the war effort on the Eastern Front. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, appear determined and focused as they make their way off the ships and onto the quayside. The horses, their coats glistening with sweat, seem restless and anxious, mirroring the uncertainty and tension of the time. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers and the crucial role that Greece and its people played in the First World War. The image is also a powerful reminder of the human cost of war, as the soldiers prepare to leave their families and loved ones behind to fight on the front lines. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the logistical challenges and human experiences of the First World War. Its black and white composition adds to its timeless and evocative quality, making it a must-have for any collection focusing on the First World War, military history, or the history of Greece during this period.
