EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the heart of the First World War. The image, from the Collection de la Guerre IV and published in "L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916," captures a unique moment during the war, showcasing the camaraderie and spirit of the soldiers. In the foreground, we see a man proudly holding a leash attached to a gazelle, the regimental mascot of the Écossais de l'Afrique du Sud (Scottish Regiment of South Africa). The gazelle, with its graceful form and alert posture, gazes intently at the crowd of soldiers gathered behind the man. Dressed in their military uniforms, the soldiers appear to be enjoying a moment of respite from the harsh realities of war. Their expressions are relaxed, and some even smile at the camera. The photograph was taken in Marseille, France, likely during a break in their military duties. The city's vibrant atmosphere is reflected in the title "Marseille en Fête," which translates to "Marseille in Celebration." The image is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, showcasing the connection between soldiers and their animals, as well as the importance of camaraderie and morale during times of conflict. The photograph's creator remains unknown, adding to its intrigue and mystery. Despite this, the image remains a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during the First World War and the role that animals played in their experiences. Overall, "Marseille en Fête: La Gazelle-Mascotte du Régiment Écossais de l'Afrique du Sud, 1916" is a powerful and evocative image that invites us to reflect on the complexities of war and the resilience of the human spirit.
