Cropped from original in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France's Gallica online collection of photos from Agence Meurisse. gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b90417805 That photo (which does not have Bain's copyright markings) identifies the Spahis as Moroccan, and the location as Ribecourt, not Arsy. "A Ribecourt : un campement de spahis marocains" Pub. Date 1914
Arden said:
Artolog: Thanks for finding the matching image with differing location information in the Gallica website. Its great to have the men identified as Moroccan and the name of the press agency, Agence Meurisse, who were probably responsible for the image which Bain copied. We will include some of these details in the image description when we update. Seems like the Gallica website may be a fruitful source for more information about some of the Bain World War I images.

Art Siegel GREAT research, Artolog! Great photo. I love the detail and the sense of seeing a 'day in the life of a moroccan soldier'.

Social commentary from the English "Punch" magazine. The 'faux French' caption reads: "Mais un monsieur qui pense lui meme tres beaucoups plus bon regardons que vraiment il est!" (Rough translation: Just a man who thinks he's better looking than he really is!"). The character in question may be a famous figure of the time, but more likely this is Punch identifying social 'stereotypical' characters seen around town, such as this business trader, perhaps seen as vulgar in his efforts to flaunt his wealth by dressing showily unlike the smartly dressed soldiers around him, something of a 'flash harry' type, with a phonetic knowledge of a foreign language passing for education. Or it may be a comment on how the French (the soldiers observing) see the English as uncouth of dress and speech? The lower picture now seems embarrassingly ill-informed, but was perhaps typical of the time.
