EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite amidst the chaos and turmoil of the Battle of Salaita Hill during World War I. Located in German East Africa, now known as Kenya, the battle took place on 12 February 1916, resulting in a German victory. In the image, members of the combined ambulance team take a brief pause from their crucial work of tending to the wounded soldiers. The team, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen huddled around a makeshift table, possibly preparing or consuming a meal. The serious expressions on their faces contrast sharply with the tranquil surroundings, as the backdrop of the African savannah stretches out behind them. The team's medical supplies and equipment are neatly arranged nearby, a testament to their dedication and professionalism in the face of danger. The Battle of Salaita Hill was a pivotal moment in the East African campaign of World War I, and this photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the medical personnel who worked tirelessly to save lives amidst the carnage of the battlefield.
