Franse soldaten in het gareel in de Elzas tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog 1914 - 1915

This anonymous photograph, taken between 1914 and 1915, depicts French soldiers in the Alsace region during World War I. The image showcases a line of soldiers, likely "poilus" - a term for French soldiers in the war - standing at attention. The photograph captures a moment of military discipline and serves as a visual record of the war's impact on French soldiers. The small size of the photograph (90mm x 140mm), suggests it might have been a postcard, which were a popular way for soldiers to communicate with loved ones during the war.
