EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the arid expanse of the Middle Eastern desert during the First World War, the cactus hedges near Deir el Balah in Palestine presented a formidable obstacle to advancing troops. Circa 1917-1918, these prickly barriers stretched across the sandy terrain, their spines glinting menacingly in the hot sun. The cacti, a native adaptation to the harsh desert climate, had taken root in abundance, creating an almost impenetrable hedge. During the Great War, the region of Palestine became a battleground for various forces, with the Ottoman Empire, British Empire, and Arab forces vying for control. The cactus hedges near Deir el Balah added an additional layer of difficulty to the already challenging desert conditions. Troops attempting to advance through these hedges faced not only the risk of injury from the sharp cactus spines but also the danger of becoming disoriented in the relentless heat. The cactus hedges near Deir el Balah, also known as Dayr al Balah, were a testament to the resilience of nature in the most inhospitable of environments. Their presence during wartime added another layer of complexity to the already complex conflict, making the already difficult desert terrain even more challenging for the troops involved. This photograph, taken circa 1917-1918, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of war in the Middle East during the First World War.
