EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the arduous journey of British soldiers on their long march through scorching heat to Baghdad during World War I. The image, taken between 1914 and 1917, showcases a group of determined men trudging along a dusty road in the Middle East. Clad in their military uniforms, these brave soldiers epitomize resilience as they advance towards their destination. The composition of the photograph highlights the harsh conditions faced by these troops, with the sweltering sun casting shadows over their weary faces. Each man's attire tells a story - from shorts and pith helmets to traditional British army uniforms - symbolizing unity amidst diversity within this expeditionary force. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it is important to note that this particular scene marks a significant milestone: the capture of Baghdad from Turkish forces in March 1917. This victory played an instrumental role in shaping World War I's outcome and further solidified Britain's influence in Iraq. Preserved as part of "The Great War" series, which features stereoscopic cards depicting various aspects of wartime life, this print serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and determination exhibited by those who fought for freedom during one of history's most devastating conflicts. Through its monochromatic lens, we are transported back to an era defined by strife and heroism – forever etched into our collective memory.
