Taken in Marseille, France in 1941, the image depicts a Frenchman overcome with emotion as he witnesses the march of the French regiment flags through the streets. Tears stream down his face, reflecting the deep sorrow and anguish felt by many during this tumultuous time. The significance of this scene lies in the context surrounding it. The French regiment flags are being sent to Africa for safekeeping, symbolizing both loss and hope.

Captured with great sensitivity and empathy, this photograph showcases Granger Art on Demand's commitment to preserving historical moments that evoke strong emotions and provoke reflection.
