EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history during the First World War, as Native carriers take a break at Fort Dschang in German Cameroon, West Central Africa. Dated back to 1914, the image offers a glimpse into the role of indigenous people during the conflict, which saw European powers vying for control over African territories. Fort Dschang, a significant German military outpost, stands proudly in the background, its grand architecture a stark contrast to the simple attire of the Native carriers. These men, who hailed from the local Cameroonian communities, were essential to the German war effort, serving as porters, laborers, and messengers. The Native carriers, their faces etched with the marks of hard labor and the weight of their burdens, sit on the ground, taking a brief respite from their duties. Their expressions convey a mix of exhaustion and determination, as they prepare to continue their arduous tasks. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the often overlooked contributions of indigenous people during the Great War. It also highlights the complex and intricate web of global events that unfolded during this period, as European powers sought to expand their empires and assert their dominance in Africa and beyond. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on a significant moment in world history, shedding light on the experiences of Native carriers during the First World War in Cameroon.
