EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Les Premiers Contingents Americains en France; Le general Pershing et le vice-amiral americain Gleaves, a bord d'un des navires de guerre convoyeurs" (The First American Contingents in France; General Pershing and Vice-Admiral American Gleaves on Board One of the Warship Convoyers), was created by French photographer Jean Clair-Guyot in 1917. The image is taken from the second volume of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919" (The Album of the War 1914-1919), published by L'Illustration, a renowned Parisian weekly magazine. The photograph captures a significant moment in history as General John J. Pershing, Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), and Vice-Admiral Albert Gleaves, Commander of the United States Atlantic Fleet, stand together on the deck of a naval ship. The image signifies the arrival of the first American contingents in France during the First World War. The two prominent military figures are shown in full length, dressed in their uniforms, exuding confidence and determination. The backdrop of the naval ship and the water adds to the sense of movement and transportation, as the United States was sending its soldiers and resources to Europe to support the Allied forces. The photograph is a testament to the collaboration between the American army and navy during the war effort, as well as the importance of the naval transport in bringing troops and supplies across the Atlantic Ocean. The image is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the people and events of the First World War era. This photograph is a must-have for anyone interested in military history, the First World War, or the role of the United States in international conflicts.
