EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense gaze of a Turkish infantryman during the First World War. Dressed in his full military regalia, the soldier wears a felt pith helmet adorned with a crescent and star insignia, protecting him from the harsh sun and potential shrapnel. The heavy, woolen uniform, complete with multiple pockets and brass buttons, is layered to provide both insulation and protection against the elements. In his hands, he cradles a long-barreled rifle, its dark wooden stock worn from use. The weapon's bayonet is fixed, ready for close combat. The soldier's profile reveals the deep lines etched onto his face, a testament to the hardships and trials endured during the Great War. The photograph, taken between 1914 and 1918, is a poignant reminder of the countless men and women who served in the Turkish army during this tumultuous period in world history. The image evokes a sense of determination, resilience, and the unwavering commitment of soldiers to their cause.
