EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the vast, sun-scorched desert landscape of Mesopotamia, British mounted troops make their way towards the ancient ruins of Ctesiphon during the First World War, circa 1915. The once grand city, now reduced to a shadow of its former glory, stands as a testament to the passage of time and the relentless march of history. The soldiers, their faces etched with determination and fatigue, ride their horses through the ruins, their uniforms a stark contrast against the sandy backdrop. In the distance, the archway of the East Gate, a symbol of the Middle East's rich cultural heritage, looms large, its intricate designs still visible despite the ravages of time. The British army's presence in Mesopotamia was a significant part of the larger campaign in the Middle East during World War 1, as they sought to secure the region and protect the strategic oil fields from the Ottoman Empire. This evocative image captures the essence of war time, with its blend of history, adventure, and the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who fought in this far-off land.
