EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and violence of the British attack on Fort Dschang in German Cameroon during the First World War. Dated 1914, the image shows the moment the main gateway of the fort is blown up, marking a significant advance in the campaign for control of this strategic African territory. The Great War in Africa was a complex and brutal conflict, with both the British and German forces vying for dominance in the region. The use of military force was a common tactic, and the destruction of Fort Dschang's gateway was a symbolic victory for the British army. The image is filled with the smoke and dust of the explosion, and the determined faces of the soldiers in the foreground add to the sense of drama and tension. The ruins of the fort can be seen in the background, a testament to the destructive power of war. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the harsh realities of war time in Africa during the early 20th century.
