EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the First World War as men of the 3rd Gurkha Rifles, a part of the 75th Division, advance over the top of their trenches on the Palestine Front in December 1917. The date marks the culmination of the Battle of Jerusalem, a significant victory for the Allied forces in the Middle East. The Gurkha soldiers, hailing from the eastern regions of Nepal, were renowned for their bravery and unwavering commitment to duty. Their distinctive red fezes and khaki uniforms stand out against the barren, rocky terrain of Palestine. With determined expressions and fixed bayonets, they charge forward, leaving the relative safety of their trenches behind. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare during WW1. The soldiers, many of whom are young and seemingly inexperienced, face an uncertain future as they venture into the unknown, potentially towards enemy lines. The image underscores the immense courage and sacrifice displayed by these soldiers during a time of global conflict. The 75th Division, which included the 3rd Gurkha Rifles, played a crucial role in the Middle Eastern theatre of the war. Their unwavering commitment and successes on the battlefield would go on to solidify their reputation as one of the most formidable units in the British Army. This powerful photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War, and the unyielding spirit of the Gurkha troops who fought valiantly for their cause.
