EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for the Poona Division of the Indian Army as they embarked on transports at Bombay Docks in October 1914, marking the beginning of their service in Mesopotamia during the First World War. The Poona Division, also known as the 5th (Poona) Division, was a part of the Indian Army's Indian Expeditionary Force D, which was raised in response to the British Empire's call for troops to support the Allied forces in the Middle East. The soldiers, a mix of infantry, cavalry, and artillery units, can be seen in various stages of boarding the transports, their faces a mixture of determination and apprehension as they set out on an uncertain journey. The scene is bustling with activity, with soldiers and their equipment being loaded onto the ships, horses being led onto the decks, and soldiers standing in formation on the dockside, awaiting their turn to embark. The image offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Indian soldiers during the Great War, who played a crucial role in the campaigns in Mesopotamia and other theatres of war. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a significant moment in the military history of India and the British Empire.
