The First World War from the perspective of objects: helmets, uniforms, notebooks, dog tags and many other silent witnesses to the conflict. Benoit Chalhoub, a passionate collector since childhood, takes us on a journey through his collection, in which each piece becomes the starting point for a story about people, courage, suffering or hope. This work is much more than a simple inventory; it combines memory and emotion, bringing the objects to life through the stories of their discovery and the destinies they evoke. Each page reveals a fragment of the daily life of soldiers from 1914 to 1918, while also highlighting the human and historical dimensions of this war. Illustrated with original photographs from the author's collection, Histoires de guerres is both a tribute to the soldiers and an invitation to reflect on the transmission of their memory.
