Nos recrues d'Asie, d'Afrique et d'Océanie; au Tonkin - le recrutement des Annamites
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Our recruits from Asia, Africa and Oceania; in Tonkin: the recruitment of Annamites), 1916, is a photograph capturing a significant moment during the First World War. The image, from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916" (Collection of the War IV. The Illustration Volume CXLVII. The War January, February, March, April, May, June 1916), depicts a group of Annamite men, dressed in traditional clothing, gathered in a courtyard. They are being inspected and guided by French soldiers and officials, with some men holding identification papers and others standing at attention. This photograph offers a glimpse into the recruitment efforts of the French military during the First World War, specifically in the Tonkin region of French Indochina, which is now part of northern Vietnam. Annamites, the indigenous people of the region, were among the many groups recruited to serve in the French army during this period. The photograph underscores the global reach of the conflict and the diverse makeup of the forces involved. The image is a poignant reminder of the complex history of colonialism, war, and migration during the 20th century. It also highlights the role of France in shaping the political and social landscape of Asia and Africa, as well as the experiences of the men and communities who were caught up in these larger historical processes. The photograph's anonymous creator remains unknown, but their work provides an important visual record of a significant moment in world history.
