An elected official is speaking near the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire’s portrait during a ceremony held on Novembre 8, 2018, at the grave of the poet at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, during the commemorative events of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. Naturalized as a French citizen in 1916, Guillaume Apollinaire fought at the front in Champagne as lieutenant of the 96th Infantry Regiment. Weakened from shrapnel injuries, he died just two days before the Armistice on November 9th from the Spanish flu. (Photo by Michel Stoupak/NurPhoto)
