No verso da fotografia existe a seguinte informação em inglês e francês: "'Kilometer 101' the highway of peace. Egypt 21.Jan.74. The eyes and ears of the world have been focused the past few months on a remote Egyptian roadside on the route from Cairo to Suez city called 'Kilometer 101'. It is here that the United Nations peace force set up their caravansseral and the tents in which the various treaties were signed. On the roadside stand three individual tents, one is for the Egyptian delegation and other for the Israelis and separating them in the middle that of the UN. Commander. Lt. Gen. Ensio Siilasvuo (Finland) commands this UN outpost with its flagpoles, police guards and support units. Within 50 days this territory will be again Egyptian soil as the Israeli and Egyptian units withdraw to their respective posts each side of the canal according to the 'disengagement agreements'. 'Kilometer 101' will go down in history books the same way as we know 'Checkpoint Charlie', 'Hill 875 Vietnam' and the 'Marginot line'...Photos by SYGMA".



"Egypte le 23 Janvier 1974. C'est là au KM 101 de la route Suez-Le Caire, qu'Israéliens et Egyptiens viennent de signer les accords de sésengagements militairs. Ce point de rencontre des deux belligérants a été investi par les casques blues de l'ONU. Constitué de 3 tentes, le KM 101 est [?] mais rentré dans l'histoire, comme étant celui de la paix. Le Général Gamassy et le Général Elazar se sont assis au tour de la table; hier ancore, ils étaient à la tête de leurs troubles et menaient un combat sans pitié. Photos: SYGMA".
