EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of the English quarters during the International protection of Scutari (Shkodra), Albania, between 1913 and 1914. The city of Scutari, now known as Shkodra, was a focal point of political turmoil during this period, as various European powers vied for influence in the region following the Balkan Wars. The International protection force, composed of British, Austro-Hungarian, Italian, French, and German sailors and soldiers, was established to maintain peace and order in the city. In this image, we see the English contingent of the force, with their distinctive red uniforms and Union Jack flags, encamped within the city's walls. The soldiers are seen relaxing and socializing, creating a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos of the surrounding conflict. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of an international peacekeeping force in action, long before the establishment of modern-day United Nations peacekeeping missions. The image serves as a reminder of the complex geopolitical landscape of early 20th century Europe, and the role that military intervention played in shaping the continent's history. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers stationed in Scutari, providing a humanizing perspective on the often-abstract concept of international peacekeeping. The image's composition, with the soldiers arranged in a semi-circle around a fire, creates a sense of camaraderie and community, despite the challenging circumstances of their deployment. Overall, this photograph is an invaluable historical document, offering insights into a pivotal moment in European history and the evolution of international peacekeeping efforts.
