Bura Catering Cooking Facilities Kenya Kitchen Roof Shelter
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a field kitchen at Bura Camp in Kenya during World War I, in 1916. The camp, located in East Africa, served as a crucial base for the British military forces engaged in the East African campaign of the First World War. The image reveals a group of soldiers huddled around the cooking facilities, preparing meals for themselves and their comrades. The field kitchen, a vital component of the military logistics, is made up of a series of metal pots and pans arranged over an open fire. The grass roofed shelter provides some respite from the harsh African sun and protects the cooking equipment from the elements. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are focused on their task, their faces etched with determination and concentration. The scene is a testament to the importance of proper nutrition and catering during wartime, and the crucial role it plays in maintaining the morale and health of the troops. The African landscape in the background adds to the sense of remoteness and isolation, highlighting the challenges faced by the soldiers in this far-off corner of the world. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers during the 1910s, a time of great upheaval and sacrifice. This image, from The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during World War I and the vital role that catering facilities played in supporting them.
