Withdrawing After Courageous Fighting Against Overwhelming Odds (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• avanherreweghe said:

  A couple of corrections are to be made. 1. This is not Ghent, but Deinze, a city at about 15 miles SW of Ghent. The church is the Our Lady Church and the soldiers are crossing the river Leie (Lys). 2. They are crossing the river from left bank to right bank. This means that they are heading towards the Germans, so they are not withdrawing (yet). It also means that they have not been in any fighting yet.

  Hi, George!
  
  Bain collection has two copies of this same Agence Meurisse photo. Here is the other one:
  
  
  From Meurisse photo at Gallica site (pub. date 1914), caption is:
  "les Spahis Marocains traversant la forêt de Compiègne"
  [Moroccan Spahis crossing the forest of Compiègne ]

Ribecourt -- Dragoon & Spahi Patrols meet (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• bior said:

  This could be either of two French communes with Ribecourt in their name. They are in close proximity to each other, and are both in same region as the other Bain Collection photos. They are Ribécourt-Dreslincourt and Ribécourt-la-Tour.

• Art Siegel said:

  Original Agence Meurisse photo (Meurisse catalog number at right and bottom of Bain negative), published in 1914, at Gallica site has a different caption:
  
  A Ribecourt : une patrouille de premiers cuirassiers et de spahis marocains
  
  
  
  Pub. Date 1914
  
  Information on the First Moroccan Spahi cavalry regiment, organized in 1914, at
  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1er_R%C3%A9giment_de_Spahis_Marocains
