EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Old Basrah Times Office in Basra, Iraq, stands proudly against the backdrop of a sun-kissed street during the First World War, around 1916. The Old Basrah Times was one of the oldest English language newspapers in the Middle East, having been established in 1878. During the early 20th century, Basra was a British protectorate, and the Old Basrah Times played a significant role in reporting on the political and social developments in the region. The image captures the essence of wartime Basra, with soldiers in uniforms and locals dressed in traditional garb mingling on the bustling street. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, creating a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos of war. The Old Basrah Times Office, with its ornate facade and large, arched windows, stands as a symbol of stability and continuity in the midst of the turmoil. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Basra during the First World War, a time when the city was a major hub for British military operations in the Middle East. The Old Basrah Times Office served as a vital source of news and information for both the British military and the local population, making it an essential part of the community. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of Basra and the Middle East during a pivotal period in world history. It invites us to reflect on the resilience and adaptability of communities in times of conflict and the importance of accurate and reliable news reporting in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
