This is a true illustrated report
made during two years (1909 & 1910) by an official photographer duly
appointed by the french army. The theme is joined infantry and artillery manoeuvres
organized in the areas of Belfort and
Vosges (East of France).
Each of these plates has been carefully dated, identified and referenced
by the photographer. This one realized here an official work for the Army
but he took advantage of this opportunity to realise some personal work as
confirmed by the mention "Perso" (for "Personal") on some
of the pictures.
Four years after these pictures have been shooted, all these
men have been involved in the most incredible slaughter of the XX century
: the WWI. More than 1.300.000 of these french soldiers have been killed.
