EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the arid and unforgiving landscape of the Middle Eastern coast during the summer of 1918, British troops of the Lewis Gun Section from the 2nd Leicestershire Regiment, 7th (Indian) Division, make their way through the sandy terrain of Arsuf, now a part of modern-day Israel. The Mediterranean Sea glimmers in the distance, providing a stark contrast to the dry and desolate surroundings. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are accompanied by their faithful mules, which serve as essential transport in the harsh conditions. The Lewis Gun, a portable, air-cooled machine gun, is a prominent feature in this scene, with several of the men carefully handling and loading the weapon. The 1st World War raged on, and the Middle East was a crucial battleground, with the British Empire vying for control against the Ottoman Empire and its German allies. The heat was relentless, and the troops faced numerous challenges, from the harsh desert conditions to the constant threat of enemy attacks. Despite the challenging circumstances, the soldiers of the 2nd Leicestershire Regiment remained resilient, relying on each other and their trusty mules to navigate the difficult terrain and carry their supplies. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British troops during the waning days of the war, as they fought to secure their position along the Mediterranean coast.
