EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Major General Lionel Charles Dunsterville and his staff, assembled in Baku during the pivotal August of 1918. Dunsterville, a British military officer, was at the helm of a crucial mission known as Dunsterforce, which was dispatched from Baghdad with the objective of advising and assisting the embattled Armenian population in Baku. As the First World War drew to a close, the Armenian people in the Caucasus region faced grave threats from various forces, including the Ottoman Turks and local Bolsheviks. The British government recognized the importance of securing the support of the Armenian community, both for strategic reasons and humanitarian concerns. Dunsterville, dressed in his full military regalia, stands at the center of the image, surrounded by his staff members, all clad in their respective uniforms. An Armenian brigadier is also present in the photograph, underscoring the multifaceted nature of the mission. The scene exudes an air of determination and resolve, as the group prepares to confront the challenges that lie ahead. The car in the background adds a sense of movement and urgency to the image, reflecting the dynamic nature of the mission. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century and the role that the British military played in shaping the course of history in the Caucasus region.
