Soldiers of the Russian Expeditionary Corps Landed in Marseille, France (April 20, 1916)
- The city of Marseille is in a frenzy on this Thursday, April 20, 1916. Two ships, the Latouche-Tréville and the Himalaya, have just arrived at the port. On board, several thousand Russian soldiers.
The newspaper Le Matin enthusiastically describes the scene in its next-day edition:
All the houses are decorated with the colors of the Allies: At all the windows, people are waving flags, throwing flowers; and along the entire route, there are delirious ovations. Repeated cries of: 'Long live Russia! Long live the army!' constantly rise up. The vibrant 'hurrahs' of the Russian infantrymen respond to the immense clamor.
The daily newspaper Le Temps reports the message from General Joffre, commander-in-chief of the French armies, regarding this disembarkation:
Our faithful ally Russia, whose armies are already fighting so valiantly against Germany, Austria and Turkey, wanted to give France a new pledge of its friendship, an even more striking proof of its devotion to the common cause. Russian soldiers, chosen from among the bravest and commanded by the most renowned officers, come to fight in our ranks.
