| Description |
This National Geographic photograph was first published in National Geographic Magazine, Volume 31 (1917). Quoting its literal illustration: «Reserves crossing a river on the way to Verdun. "They shall not pass" is a phrase which for all time will be associated with the heroic defense of Verdun. To future generations of French people it will bring a thrill of pride even surpassing that enkindled by the glorious "The Old Guard dies, it never surrenders." The guardians of the great fortress on the Meuse have proved themselves invincible in attack, invulnerable in defense.» Note that the "They shall not pass" motto was before used in many other conflicts, such as the Spanish Civil War. PS: Note also the moustache was on top. ??/??/1916 #ww1 #wwi #1916 #france #horses #verdun #cavalry #nationalgeographic |
