EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the ancient city of Hama, Syria, situated on the banks of the meandering River Orontes in 1943. The image was captured by a British army recruitment officer stationed in the East Africa and Middle East theatre during World War II. The officer, clad in his military uniform and wearing a felt hat, stands at the edge of the river, gazing intently at the waterwheel, a symbol of the city's rich history and the life-giving force of the river. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the British Empire held significant influence over the Middle East. The military presence is evident in the background, with the distinct silhouette of a British warship anchored in the distance, a reminder of the global conflict that was raging at the time. Despite the ominous backdrop of war, the photograph also conveys a sense of tranquility and wonder. The city of Hama, with its ancient architecture and vibrant culture, stands proudly along the riverbanks, a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of its people. The photograph invites us to reflect on the complex history of the Middle East during the World War II era, a time of imperial power, military might, and cultural richness.
