Each and every one of us has, at some point in time, fallen upon old familiy photographs of soldiers, without necessarily being able to replace them in a chronological context. As you read through World War 1 - From mobilisation to the armistice, you will, thanks to such family photographs, be admitted into the very private lives of French soldiers who participated in various theatres of operation on the Western Front during the Great War.
Thanks to a presentation of documentary sources on the 1914-18 war, this book also offers you an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of one of the 8,000,000 troops that were mobilised during the conflict : perhaps one of your forefathers ?
