  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Elemental Sulphur, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Convoy of Spahis at Frane le Port [i.e., Francport] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• bior said:

  According to Wikipedia, a Spahi is a "light cavalry regiments of the French army recruited primarily from the indigenous populations of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spahi)

• Art Siegel said:

  I think this is actually Le Francport, a small village in the vicinity of the other October, 1914 French battle pictures in the Bain Collection. Also sometimes written as Le Franc-Port. (It was ultimately the site of the armistice in 1918 and the surrender of Germany after World War II). I cannot find a "Frane Le Port" (as in the negative caption) or a "France Le Port" (the Flickr caption). However, there is a picture in the Bibliotheque National de France's Gallica online photo collection of Moroccan Spahis at Le Franc-Port: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b9041734x

• Arden said:

  retired at last and artolog: Thank you for finding the date on the negative. bior: thank you for the information about the Spahi regiments. There seem to be quite a few images of the Spahi soldiers in the Bain News Service Collection. It seems probable, artolog, that this image shows Francport as you say, and not "Frane Le Port" which appears in the caption. It looks like some of the French language place names were not correctly written by the Bain captioners. Thank you for helping us fix them.

155 cm gun in France (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• bdbarn52 said:

  Great picture but this is a 155 mm gun (the 155 mm refers to the bore diameter of the gun tube) not a 155 cm gun. A 155 cm gun would have a bore diameter of over and 1.5 meters or just over 4.5 feet ! That would be 10x larger than the gun shown in this picture. Brian
