EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the intensity and complexity of the Cameroon Campaign during the First World War. In the image, a six-inch gun-boat, manned by a determined crew, is seen in action on the Wouri River in Cameroon, West Africa. The year is 1915, and the campaign, which lasted from August 1914 to March 1916, involved a three-way struggle between the British, French, and German forces for control of the German colony of Kamerun. The Wouri River was a strategic waterway, providing access to the heart of the colony and serving as a vital transportation route for troops and supplies. The crew aboard this gun-boat, with their focused expressions and poised weapons, embody the courage and tenacity required to navigate the challenges of this far-off and unfamiliar terrain. The boat itself, with its powerful gun and pennant flying proudly, is a testament to the military might brought to bear in this colonial conflict. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of a little-known but significant theatre of the First World War. The Cameroon Campaign was marked by intense jungle warfare, disease, and logistical challenges, as well as the involvement of colonial powers seeking to expand their empires. The image of this gun-boat in action on the Wouri River serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who fought in this campaign, and of the broader historical context in which it took place." Mary Evans Prints Online is pleased to offer this rare and evocative photograph for use in historical research, education, and other non-commercial purposes. The photograph is attributed to Mayor, Meyer, or Griffith, and provides an invaluable visual record of the Cameroon Campaign during the First World War.
