EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the harsh realities of life for a soldier serving in East Africa during World War I. Circa 1917, the soldier's uniform, bearing the marks of wear and tear, is a testament to the rigors of campaigning in this remote and challenging theater of war. The pith helmet, belt, trousers, and shirt, all in a poor state, contrast sharply with the smiling face of the man who wears them. The First World War, also known as the Great War, was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918. In East Africa, British, German, and Belgian forces clashed in a series of campaigns that saw intense fighting in harsh conditions. The long campaigns, characterized by disease, harsh terrain, and a lack of supplies, took a heavy toll on the soldiers, resulting in the deterioration of their uniforms. This image, from The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this time. The soldier's resilient spirit, despite the poor state of his uniform, serves as a reminder of the human element of war and the enduring strength of those who served.
