EDITORS COMMENTS
- a powerful and evocative phrase that resonates with the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who fought in the trenches during World War I. This poignant image captures the determination and resilience of a lone soldier, standing tall against the backdrop of a desolate battlefield. The year is 1917, and the horrors of trench warfare have taken their toll on both sides. The use of poison gas in the conflict had added a new and terrifying dimension to the already brutal fighting. In this photograph, we see a soldier wearing a gas mask around his neck, a constant reminder of the ever-present danger that lurked in the air. The phrase "On ne passe pas" is said to have originated with General Robert Nivelle at the Battle of Verdun in 1916. It became a rallying cry for the French troops, a symbol of their unwavering resolve to hold their ground against the German advance. The soldier in this image embodies that spirit, standing firm and defiant in the face of adversity. The title of the photograph, "On ne passe pas. 1914... 1918. Par deux fois j'ai tenu et vaincu sur la Marne," translates to "They shall not pass. 1914... 1918. I have held and won twice on the Marne." The reference to the Marne River signifies the importance of the Battle of the Marne, a major turning point in the war, where the Allied forces successfully halted the German advance on Paris. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during World War I, and the indomitable spirit that carried them through even the darkest of times. The phrase "On ne passe pas" became a symbol of hope and determination, a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure and prevail in the face of adversity.
