The Kurdish people have a rich and diverse history, filled with tales of bravery, resilience, and cultural heritage. From the valiant Kurdish lady warriors who fearlessly fought for their land to the British troops moved by air in support of their cause, the Kurds have left an indelible mark on history. In Iran, courageous Kurdish gentlemen stood tall against adversity, showcasing their unwavering spirit. Even during World War II, a remarkable company of the Iraq Levies comprised solely of Kurds displayed unparalleled loyalty and dedication. Symbolizing unity and patriotism, Iraqi Kurdish people carried fire torches up a mountain to proudly hoist the giant flag of Iraq. This act exemplified their commitment to their nation while celebrating its identity. Amongst them were Yazidi women whose strength knows no bounds. Their resilience in face of unimaginable hardships is truly awe-inspiring. Visiting the Mausoleum of Saladin - an iconic figure in Kurdish history - one encounters his first marble coffin that now lies empty. It serves as a reminder of his legacy and enduring influence on generations to come. Historical skirmishes between Persians and Kurds further highlight the complex dynamics within this region. Captured beautifully by Alfred Leon Lemercier's lithograph from 1850-60, it showcases both conflict and coexistence between these two groups. During World War II, paratroop tribesmen belonging to the Iraq Levies demonstrated exceptional courage alongside their fellow soldiers. Their bravery knew no bounds as they fought side by side with determination etched onto every face. Newroz Day holds immense significance for Iraqi Kurdish people as they joyously celebrate spring's arrival along with welcoming the new year. Festivities abound as communities unite in merriment while cherishing traditions passed down through generations. While some may romanticize adventure-seeking bandits roaming Persian lands in 1875 Kurdistan was not exempt from such tales either.
