EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from World War I, we are transported to the shores of the Black Sea. General Edmund Allenby, his back turned towards us, stands alongside General Franchet d'Esperey as they survey the horizon with a sense of purpose and determination. The year is 1918, and these two allied commanders have come together in Crimea's Sebastopol (now Sevastopol) to strategize their next move. The sepia-toned image captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to the bravery and resilience of these men who fought on foreign soil. With helmets firmly secured on their heads, they stand tall against the backdrop of crashing waves and endless water stretching out before them. As General d'Esperey points towards Sebastopol, one can only imagine the weight of responsibility that rests upon their shoulders. Their presence exudes authority and confidence as they lead troops into battle during this tumultuous period in history. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Allenby and d'Esperey during World War I. It encapsulates not just an exterior scene but also represents countless lives affected by war – both British soldiers under Allenby's command and French forces led by d'Esperey. Let this image be a tribute to those who fought valiantly for freedom amidst chaos; may it serve as a poignant reminder never to forget our shared history or take peace for granted.
