EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of Allied triumph as troops from Great Britain and its allies marched through the streets of Baghdad, Mesopotamia (now Iraq), during the First World War. Circa 1917, the city had recently fallen to the Allied forces, marking a significant victory in the Middle Eastern theatre of the war. Turkish prisoners, captured during the campaign, are seen under escort, while the crowds of Arab spectators on either side of the road cheer and clap in approval. The soldiers, a mix of British and other Allied troops, march proudly, their expressions a mix of determination and relief. The scene is one of jubilation and victory, as the Allied forces celebrate their hard-won success in the Middle East. The photograph is a testament to the complexities of the First World War, which extended far beyond the trenches of the Western Front and into the heart of the Middle East. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of colonialism and the role it played in shaping the modern Middle East.
