EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as British artillerymen of the Nigerian Regiment of the Royal Field Artillery (RFA) prepare to deploy their field gun in Africa. The image, dated circa 1914-1916, depicts a group of soldiers dressed in their khaki uniforms, with their Major and gunners standing proudly beside the large artillery piece. The MacLverty gun, a type of quick-firing field gun used extensively by the British Army during the war, is seen in the foreground, ready for action. The African landscape serves as a stark backdrop to the scene, with the vast, open terrain stretching out behind the soldiers. The sun casts long shadows over the rugged terrain, adding to the sense of isolation and the harsh realities of war. The British soldiers, a mix of European officers and African enlisted men, embody the multinational and multiracial nature of the British military during this period. The Royal Field Artillery was a crucial component of the British Army during the First World War, providing essential fire support for the infantry and cavalry. The Nigerian Regiment, raised in 1897, was one of several African units that served alongside British troops during the conflict. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these soldiers, their camaraderie, and their role in the larger conflict. The image is a poignant reminder of the global reach and impact of the First World War, as well as the diverse and complex nature of the military forces that fought in it. This powerful photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique and valuable perspective on this important chapter in world history.
