EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment Emir Faisal's Arab army entered the port town of Wejh, in the Middle East, during the First World War on January 1917. The Arab forces, led by Emir Faisal, the eldest son of the Hashemite Sharif of Mecca, played a pivotal role in the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. The desert landscape of Wejh, now located in modern-day Saudi Arabia, serves as a stark backdrop to the historic event. Emir Faisal and his troops, dressed in traditional Arab garb, are seen riding on camels, their faces set with determination and resolve. The camels, long a symbol of the Arab desert, carry the soldiers and their supplies through the arid terrain. The Arab army's entrance into Wejh marked a significant victory in the Arab Revolt and paved the way for the eventual capture of Damascus and the end of Ottoman rule in the Arab lands. The First World War, which raged from 1914 to 1918, saw the involvement of various powers, including the Arab forces, in the Middle East. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and resilience of Emir Faisal's army and their crucial role in the region's history. The image also highlights the unique challenges of desert warfare, with the harsh terrain and extreme weather conditions adding to the soldiers' already daunting task.
