EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a unique moment during World War II as members of the Iraq Levies, a local force recruited from various Iraqi tribes, including the Kurds, prepare to go on leave from their training at an R.A.F. station. The Iraq Levies were renowned for their exceptional fighting skills and courage, making them valuable allies for the British forces in the region. The image showcases the tribal warriors in their traditional costumes, proudly displaying their cultural heritage amidst the backdrop of the war. The Kurds, an ethnic group with a long history of resistance, are particularly prominent in this photograph. Their loyalty to the British forces was a strategic move to protect their interests against potential threats from other powerful factions in the region. The Iraq Levies played a crucial role in the campaign against the Axis powers during World War II. By collaborating with the British forces, they contributed significantly to the Allied victory in the Middle East. The photograph serves as a testament to the complexities of the war and the diverse array of forces that came together to fight for a common cause. The image is a poignant reminder of the human stories that often get lost in the annals of history. It underscores the importance of understanding the motivations and experiences of the people who lived through these tumultuous times. This photograph is a valuable historical resource, offering insights into the role of local forces during World War II and the enduring bonds between different communities in times of conflict.
