EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the First World War in the African continent, specifically in German Cameroon, west central Africa, in the year 1914. Native troops and carriers are seen diligently working together to construct makeshift shelters. The harsh realities of war time are evident in the rugged terrain and the somber expressions on the faces of the soldiers and carriers. The First World War reached the African continent in August 1914, when German colonies in Africa, including Cameroon, were invaded by the Allied Powers. The native population was conscripted into service as soldiers and carriers to support the German military efforts. The harsh conditions of the African terrain presented unique challenges for both the German forces and the native laborers. The soldiers and carriers in this photograph are likely constructing shelters to provide protection from the elements, as well as from potential enemy attacks. The simple, yet effective design of the huts demonstrates the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the native population in adapting to the demands of war. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the global reach of the First World War and the role of native troops and laborers in the conflict. It also highlights the resilience and determination of soldiers and carriers, who, despite the harsh conditions and the challenges of war, continued to build shelters to protect themselves and their comrades.
