EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the First World War as British soldiers take position in the dense bush of Duala, Cameroon, in west central Africa, on Christmas Day, 1915. The soldiers, dressed in woolen uniforms and helmets, are preparing to fire their artillery, specifically a Howitzer gun, against enemy lines. The gun is mounted on a heavy tripod, and the team is surrounded by their equipment and supplies. The soldiers' faces are focused and determined, their expressions a testament to the harsh realities of war in this remote African outpost. The image offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by British troops during the campaign in Cameroon, which saw intense fighting between German and Allied forces. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the global reach of the First World War and the sacrifices made by soldiers from all corners of the British Empire.
