EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the history of the Palestine Police Force, taken in November 1945 at their barracks in Jerusalem. At the center stands an Arab Drill Sergeant, dressed in full ceremonial uniform, sternly instructing his recent recruits. The recruits, also dressed in uniform, appear focused and determined as they follow the sergeant's commands. The Palestine Police Force was established in 1872 by the Ottoman Empire and was later taken over by the British Mandate of Palestine in 1920. The force was responsible for maintaining law and order in the region during a time of political and social unrest. The recruits in this photograph were likely part of the intake following the end of World War II, as the British Mandate was coming to an end and the future of Palestine was uncertain. The setting of the photograph, with its bare trees and drab buildings, adds to the sense of history and tradition. The image is a reminder of the important role the Palestine Police Force played in maintaining order during a time of political turmoil and transition. The photograph is also a testament to the dedication and discipline of the recruits, who were committed to serving their community and upholding the law. This photograph is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the complex history of Palestine. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, and a reminder of the rich and complex history of the Middle East.
