EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as British soldiers take a respite from the harsh realities of the Mesopotamia campaign to hire a ballam, or skiff, on the creek at Basra in 1916. The Middle Eastern city of Basra, located in modern-day Iraq, served as a key British military base during the conflict. The soldiers, dressed in full uniform and armed with rifles, are seen haggling with a local boatman over the price of the hire, providing a glimpse into the complex interplay between the British military presence and the local population. The water scene is dotted with various boats and vessels, adding to the bustling and vibrant atmosphere. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, creating a striking contrast between the tranquil water and the soldiers' stern expressions, hinting at the challenges and hardships they faced in the region. This historical photograph offers a unique perspective on the British Army's experiences in Mesopotamia during the First World War, and serves as a poignant reminder of the rich and complex history of the Middle East during this period.
