Night Defence: A Modern Zareba or Laager in World War II - Old Words with New Meanings This evocative photograph, taken by G. H. Davis in 1941, captures the transformation of an African defensive enclosure known as a Zareba or Laager, into a formidable fortification against enemy attack in the context of mechanised warfare during World War II. The original Zareba or Laager was a circular or square enclosure, typically made of thorny bushes or logs, used by African tribes to protect themselves against raids. However, as the nature of warfare evolved, so too did the design of defensive structures. In this image, we see the Zareba's adapted form, with its angular shape and earthen walls, fortified with barbed wire and other defensive obstacles. The scene is set against the backdrop of night, with the dark silhouettes of soldiers and vehicles adding to the sense of mystery and tension. The use of searchlights and spotlights illuminates the area, creating a stark contrast between light and shadow. The caption "Night Defence" underscores the importance of this fortification during nighttime attacks, which were common during World War II. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the adaptability and resourcefulness of soldiers during wartime, as they found innovative ways to defend against the ever-evolving threats of modern warfare. This photograph, with its historical significance and evocative imagery, is a valuable addition to any collection of World War II history or military history. It offers a unique perspective on the ways in which ancient defensive strategies were adapted to meet the challenges of modern warfare.
