EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the temporary headquarters of Lieutenant-Colonel P.H. Dykes during the East African campaign of World War I in 1916. The image, taken from The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a glimpse into the living conditions of high-ranking officers during this pivotal period in history. The scene is set in a simple yet functional room, with a tiled floor and a large map of the East African theater of war spread out on a table. A uniformed Lieutenant-Colonel Dykes sits in a comfortable chair, deep in thought, as he studies the intricacies of the battlefield. The room is sparsely furnished, with a few wooden chairs and a simple wooden desk, yet it exudes an air of authority and order. The African landscape outside the window is a stark contrast to the ordered interior of the headquarters. The rugged terrain, dotted with acacia trees and rolling hills, serves as a constant reminder of the challenging conditions faced by the Allied forces during their campaign against the German army. Despite the harsh conditions, Lieutenant-Colonel Dykes and his men persevered, making temporary headquarters like this one a vital hub of communication and strategy. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by military personnel during the First World War, and the determination and resilience required to overcome the challenges of wartime.
