Ribecourt -- Dragoon & Spahi Patrols meet (LOC)

    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.

    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

    It's no wonder so many people died in the trenches really. Look at those bright, shiny helmets! They're basically crying out to the Germans "Hey! We're over here! Look at our shiny helmets! Shoot this way!"
  • Simon Meisinger said:
    Gareth Jones haha, you have no damn idea …
  • Chris Walter said:
    Simon, Can you clarify please?
  • Simon Meisinger said:
    this is clearly no battlefield. there is clearly no enemy anywhere near. and those are clearly no common soldiers. www.google.de/search?hl=de&cp=30&gs_id=35&xhr...

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called a Picture, a Story!, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Mike Blake said:
    They are Spahis, and usually described as French Algerian cavalry rather than dragoons. Are they charging along the beach at Nieuwpoort - it doesn't look like the sea in the background? Given that they are Algerian, would the sand be more likely to be in North Africa? There are a number of similar photos of what are staged charges, called 'razzias' [sp?] which North African horsemen were famous for - this looks like one rather than a 'charge into battle' shot. Nonetheless it is a great photo.
