EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from World War I, we are transported to Freetown, Sierra Leone, where the British expeditionary force is preparing for a crucial attack on German forces in Cameroon. The image captures the early stages of their mission as they gather together with determination and focus. The sepia-toned print adds an air of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of the historical significance and gravity of this moment. A group of brave African and British men stand tall against a backdrop of the city, ready to embark on their perilous journey. Amongst them, we see cannons strategically placed, symbolizing both power and defense. These weapons serve as a reminder that war requires sacrifice but also represents hope for victory. The diversity within this united force is striking; it showcases individuals from different backgrounds coming together under one common goal - to protect their homeland and fight for freedom. Their shared purpose transcends racial boundaries during a time when such unity was not always prevalent. This print serves as a powerful testament to the courage and resilience exhibited by these soldiers during World War I. It immortalizes their unwavering commitment in defending Sierra Leone against enemy forces while shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of history – Africa's involvement in global conflicts.
