A 1917 picture of a bride beside a soldier on the front stands out for its setting, since a wedding and a battlefield are rarely shown together. The French title, "Je raconte dans l'Oeuvre," points to the Paris daily *L'Oeuvre*, which ran human-interest stories alongside its war coverage. Weddings between soldiers and their fiancées happened during the war, usually when leave or permission could be arranged, and pictures like this gave home audiences a glimpse of private life continuing under fire.
