EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Lord Kitchener, the renowned British Field Marshal, diplomat, and statesman, reviews Indian troops during World War I. The image showcases the immense contribution of Indian soldiers to the war effort, with an astounding 800, 000 troops fighting alongside their British counterparts. However, this valiant service came at a great cost, as nearly 48, 000 Indian soldiers tragically lost their lives or went missing in action while another 65, 000 were wounded. The photograph depicts Lord Kitchener standing tall and resolute in his military uniform amidst a field parade. As he salutes the brave soldiers before him with unwavering attention and respect, it is evident that he recognizes their remarkable dedication and sacrifice. The scene is rich with historical significance as it symbolizes both colonial power dynamics and shared camaraderie on the battlefield. The sight of Indian troops donning traditional turbans alongside British soldiers highlights the diversity within the ranks. It is worth noting that this image represents not just a single moment but also countless stories of heroism and bravery from those who fought under Lord Kitchener's command. Their unwavering commitment earned them an impressive tally of 13, 000 medals won during WWI including twelve Victoria Crosses - testament to their exceptional valor.
