Caption on back of image: ”Heroes of the Marne Earn Well Deserved Rest. Never was the indomitable spirit of the French soldiers shown to better advantage than when the first great drive was made on Paris. Spurred on by cheerful talk of their officers, these men created history by their defense of their mother land. The picture shows a regiment of those fighters returning to billet after a long stretch in the trenches.”
