EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment the Gold Coast Regiment, part of the 1st Great War British African Forces, arrived in Kibata, East Africa, during the Battle of Kibata in October 1916. The Battle of Kibata marked a significant turning point in World War I, resulting in a German withdrawal from the region. The Gold Coast Regiment, comprised primarily of soldiers from present-day Ghana, marched tirelessly towards the battlefront, their determined expressions and focused gaze reflecting the gravity of the situation. Dressed in uniforms and armed with rifles, these brave men embodied the resilience and courage of the African troops who fought valiantly alongside their British counterparts. The sun-scorched landscape, dotted with acacia trees, underscores the harsh conditions endured by the soldiers during their march. The Battle of Kibata lasted from October 1916 to 6 January 1917, making it a pivotal engagement in the East African campaign of World War I. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Gold Coast Regiment and other African troops during the 1910s, as they fought to secure victory in the Great War.
