EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the First World War's African theatre, as British forces demolish Fort Dschang in German Cameroon, west central Africa, in 1914. The ruins of the once formidable fortress, now reduced to rubble, stand as a testament to the relentless advance of the British Army. The First World War reached African shores in August 1914, when German troops in the Cameroons, under the command of General von Lettow-Vorbeck, resisted the British invasion. Fort Dschang, located in the British-claimed northern part of the Cameroons, was a key strategic stronghold for the German forces. The fort's capture was crucial for the British in their quest to secure control of the entire territory. In this image, British soldiers are seen meticulously dismantling the fort's walls, using explosives and heavy machinery. Their determined expressions and focused demeanor convey the intensity and urgency of the battle. The destruction of Fort Dschang marked a significant victory for the British, but the war in the Cameroons would continue until 1916, with the German forces eventually surrendering. This photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of war in Africa during the early 20th century. The image is a poignant reminder of the global reach and impact of the First World War, and the human cost of conflict.
