EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the French officer Salan at Nguyen Binh in Tonkin, December 1924. The image showcases Lieut Raoul Salan, who later rose to become a General and the most highly decorated soldier in France. Known for his military prowess and leadership skills, Salan played a significant role in various historical events.
In addition to his military achievements, Salan was also involved in political activities. He was one of the four generals who organized the 1961 Algiers Putsch and founded the Organisation de l'Armee Secret (OAS). However, his actions led to him being charged with treason in 1962 and subsequently imprisoned. Despite this setback, he was amnestied in 1968.
The photograph provides a glimpse into a crucial moment in history when colonial powers like France were asserting their dominance over territories like Tonkin. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that existed during that time period and sheds light on individuals like Salan who played pivotal roles in shaping events.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of an individual but also a window into an era marked by imperialism, conflict, and political intrigue.
