EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment of history during the War of 14-18, showcasing Senegalese gunmen crossing a city. The image depicts the mobilization of indigenous soldiers from Africa, specifically Senegal, who were enlisted to fight in the war by France.
The photograph is a stark reminder of the impact of colonialism and imperialism, as African soldiers were often used as pawns in European conflicts. Despite facing discrimination and unequal treatment, these brave men fought alongside their French counterparts with courage and determination.
The weapons they carry symbolize both their strength and vulnerability in a war that was not their own. The postcard format adds an element of nostalgia to the image, highlighting the historical significance of this moment in time.
Through this photograph, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless African soldiers during World War I, whose contributions have often been overlooked or forgotten. It serves as a tribute to their bravery and resilience in the face of adversity.
Overall, this print is a poignant portrayal of war, colonization, and resistance - capturing a complex narrative that continues to resonate today.
