EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of surrender during the intense battle of Tuz Khurmati, which took place on the banks of the Tigris River in Mesopotamia (now Iraq) on April 29, 1918. The scene portrays Turkish prisoners of war being led by British soldiers of the 38th Lancashire Brigade, 13th Division, following their capture during the action. The First World War was a significant turning point in the Middle East, with the conflict in Mesopotamia being part of the larger Great War in the East. The 13th Division, a formation of the British Army, played a crucial role in the campaign, engaging the Ottoman forces in a series of hard-fought battles. The prisoners, dressed in tattered and worn uniforms, display a range of emotions, from resignation to defiance, as they are taken into custody. The backdrop of the arid, sun-scorched landscape adds to the sense of desolation and the harsh realities of war. This poignant image serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict, and the complex and often brutal history of the Middle East.
