EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the First World War as British troops of the 181st Brigade, 60th London Division, take up positions along the Es Salt Road in Palestine to defend against unseen aerial threats. Dated to March 1918, this image offers a glimpse into the intense and uncertain atmosphere of the war's Middle Eastern theatre. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are focused intently on their tasks, their expressions determined and resolute. They are armed with anti-aircraft weapons, ready to defend against the enemy's aircraft, which are not visible in the photograph but loom ominously in the background. The desolate, rocky terrain of the road adds to the sense of isolation and vulnerability, as the soldiers stand guard against an unseen foe. The Es Salt Road was a strategic location during the war, as it connected the major cities of Amman and Es Salt in Transjordan, making it an important supply route for the British forces. The presence of the 60th London Division in this area was crucial in protecting these vital supplies and maintaining the British presence in the region. Despite the challenges and dangers they faced, the soldiers of the 181st Brigade remained steadfast in their duty, their unwavering commitment to their country evident in their determined expressions and their readiness to defend against the unseen threats of the war. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who fought in the First World War, and the crucial role they played in shaping the course of history.
