EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Gun parts of the 1st Service Battery of the African Native Regiment (ANR) on the banks of the Rufiji River in German East Africa, now Tanzania, during the wet season of the First World War. The date is March 1917, and the battery, having been sent down to Morogoro without their guns to recuperate after enduring prolonged periods of low rations, are seen here tending to their artillery pieces. The image showcases a range of heavy gun parts, including the carriage and wheels of a Great War-era cannon, with the men of the ANR working diligently to maintain their weapons. The Rufiji River, also known as the Rufigi River, provides a serene backdrop to the scene, its waters reflecting the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape. The African Native Regiment, made up primarily of local Tanzanian troops, played a crucial role in the German colonial forces during World War I. Despite facing numerous challenges, including harsh conditions and limited resources, the ANR remained a formidable presence on the battlefield. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the ANR soldiers, as they worked to keep their guns in working order amidst the challenges of the wet season in German East Africa. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these men during a pivotal moment in world history.
