Deux Departs; Le Salut d'Adieu du General Pershing a la France,
EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "Two Departures; The Farewell Salute of General Pershing to France," is a poignant photograph capturing a significant moment in history. The image, created in 1919, was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris. The photograph depicts General John J. Pershing, the Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I, bidding farewell to France as he prepared to depart from the port of Brest, Finistere, Brittany. Pershing, dressed in his military uniform, stands at the edge of a ship, surrounded by a group of soldiers in their respective uniforms. The general is seen giving a salute to the crowd of people gathered on the dock, who are also saluting in return. The photograph captures the essence of the victorious end of the First World War and the camaraderie between the Allied forces. Pershing's departure marked the end of the American military presence in Europe, and the salute serves as a symbol of gratitude and respect from both sides. The image also showcases the fashion of the time, with the soldiers wearing their military apparel and the civilians dressed in their best clothing. The photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the First World War and the important role the United States played in the conflict. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and the unity of the Allied forces during a time of war. The photograph's unknown creator masterfully captured a moment of peace and celebration amidst the aftermath of a devastating war.
