Alsace Blaise Captured Dominique Ministry Standard
EDITORS COMMENTS
In the early days of World War I, the capture of the enemy's flag was a significant military achievement, symbolizing victory and morale boost for the troops. In this historic photograph, taken in August 1914, the first German Standard, belonging to the 132nd infantry regiment, is proudly displayed in the window of the French Ministry of War on the Rue St Dominique in Paris. The flag was captured by the 10th battalion of Chasseurs during the Battle of St Blaise in Alsace. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd gathered outside the ministry, eager to witness the symbol of German defeat up close. Soldiers stand guard in the forecourt to maintain order and security. The capture of the German Standard marked a crucial moment in the early stages of the war, signaling the French advance into German territory and boosting the morale of the French troops and civilians. This photograph is a testament to the intense and emotional nature of the conflict, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War.
