EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as soldiers of C Company M1 stand guard at Varmi Fort in Nigeria, West Africa. The fort, built of local materials including straw and mud, is nestled among the rolling hills and lush vegetation of the African landscape. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are a stark contrast to the natural surroundings. The roofs of the huts and fortifications are visible in the background, with the world beyond hinted at by the blue sky peeking through the clouds. The soldiers, with their rifles at the ready, are alert and focused, their expressions betraying the tension and uncertainty of war time. The guns and weapons at their feet are a reminder of the potential for violence and conflict, even in this seemingly idyllic setting. The presence of the soldiers in Nigeria during the First World War was part of the larger effort by the British to protect their colonial interests in Africa. The Nigerian native population played a significant role in the war effort, serving as laborers, porters, and even soldiers in various units. The photograph provides a glimpse into the complex and multifaceted nature of the war, which reached far beyond the European theater and impacted people and places around the globe. This image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of the soldiers who served in the First World War, and the far-reaching impact of global conflicts on communities and individuals around the world.
