EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1916 showcases a group of Fijian troops in Honolulu, Hawaii, on their way to France during World War I. The image captures the essence of early war times as these brave men prepare to serve as stevedores overseas. Despite being far away from their native Fiji, they stand tall and proud in their uniforms, ready to contribute to the war effort. The sepia-toned print adds a touch of nostalgia and authenticity to this historic moment frozen in time. Their barefoot presence reminds us of the simplicity and resilience that characterized many soldiers during this era. These Fijian natives represent an often overlooked aspect of World War I history - the diverse contributions made by different cultures across the globe. As we gaze upon this remarkable photo, we are transported back over a century ago when nations united against a common enemy. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and turmoil, humanity can come together for a greater cause.
