EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the British advance in Southern East Africa towards the end of World War I. In the foreground, commanding officers of the Rhodesian volunteers and the British South Africa Police (BSAP) are seen meeting at a rendezvous on the frontier. Accompanying them are native troops and their escorts, all dressed in uniform and prepared for battle. The scene takes place between Lakes Nyasa and Tanganyika, two large bodies of water that marked the border between German East Africa and the British Protectorate of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) and the British Protectorate of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The year is 1916, and the British forces were making their way towards German-held territories in East Africa as part of the larger East African Campaign. The Rhodesian volunteers and the BSAP played a crucial role in the British advance, providing valuable local knowledge and manpower. The native troops, many of whom were recruited from the local populations, served as essential allies and laborers, helping to carry supplies, build roads, and defend against German attacks. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complex and multifaceted nature of the British military effort in Southern East Africa during World War I. It underscores the importance of local collaboration and the role of diverse forces in the larger conflict. The meeting of the officers and their escorts also serves as a reminder of the human element of war, as individuals from different backgrounds and cultures came together in the pursuit of a common goal.
