EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Captains Marsh and Marshall stand before the imposing Bismarck Memorial in Muanza, Tanzania, formerly known as German East Africa, in the year 1919. The scene transports us back in time to the postwar era of the 1910s, as the two military leaders pay their respects to the iconic monument dedicated to Otto von Bismarck, the renowned German statesman and former Chancellor. The Bismarck Memorial, situated in the heart of Muanza on the shores of Lake Victoria, is a powerful reminder of the German colonial presence in East Africa that once stretched from 1884 to 1919. The memorial, constructed from large stones and rocks, stands tall and proud, symbolizing the enduring legacy of Bismarck's leadership and the indelible mark he left on the world stage. Captains Marsh and Marshall, dressed in their military uniforms, appear solemn and reverent as they pay their respects to the memorial. Their presence underscores the historical significance of the site and the importance of remembering the past. The image captures a moment of reflection and commemoration, as the two captains stand in quiet contemplation before the monument that pays tribute to the man who once ruled over this part of Africa. The Bismarck Memorial remains an enduring symbol of the complex and often tumultuous history of East Africa, and serves as a reminder of the lasting impact of colonialism on the region and its people. The photograph, taken in 1919, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the historical significance of this monument and the leaders who have come before us. This photograph is part of The On Call in Africa Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images documenting the colonial era in Africa.
