EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, General Henri Mathias Berthelot (1867-1952) is seen saluting in August 1918, just a month after he had been given command of the French Fifth Army by General Foch. The location of the image is unknown, but it appears that General Berthelot is in the company of both French and British officers, reflecting the Allied unity and cooperation during World War I. General Berthelot, a distinguished French military leader, had previously served as the Inspector General of the Artillery and the Commander of the Second Army before being appointed to lead the Fifth Army. His new position came at a critical moment in the war, as the Allied forces were making their final push towards victory. The image captures the intense focus and determination of the general as he stands at attention, surrounded by his comrades-in-arms. The soldiers and officers in the background, dressed in their uniforms and bearing their arms, add to the sense of military discipline and order. The year 1918 was a pivotal one in the history of World War I, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the leadership and camaraderie that helped bring about the Allied victory. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and commanders on the front lines, and the unity and determination that carried them through to the end of the war. General Berthelot's leadership and strategic acumen proved invaluable in the final months of the war, as the French Fifth Army played a crucial role in the Battle of Amiens and the subsequent Allied advance towards the German border. The photograph stands as a testament to his military prowess and his commitment to the cause of freedom and democracy.
