A wounded man attempts to stand up to receive his medal, 1915. "La médaille militaire, mon général, c'est debout qu'il convient de la recevoir". (The military medal, mon général, should be received standing up). Scene which apparently took place behind the front lines in Champagne, France, during the First World War. A soldier has been seriously wounded in battle, his right leg was amputated at the thigh that morning, his collarbone was removed, and he was also trapanned after his skull was smashed by a shell. Nevertheless he attempts to stand as an officer decorates him for bravery. Front cover of "Le Petit Journal Supplement Illustré". [France, 24 October 1915]
