EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the unwavering determination of an Afghan soldier, a vital yet often overlooked contributor to the Allied forces during World War One. Dating back to 1916, this image transports us back to a pivotal moment in history, a time when the world was forever changed. The Afghan soldier, dressed in a military uniform that bears the insignia of the British Indian Army, stands tall against the backdrop of a desolate and rocky terrain. His gaze is fixed, unwavering, and filled with a quiet resolve that belies the harsh conditions of the battlefield. The soldier's turban, a symbol of his Afghan heritage, sits atop his head, a testament to the multicultural nature of the Allied forces. The 20th century was a time of great upheaval and change, and the First World War marked a significant turning point in history. The involvement of Afghan soldiers in the conflict is an often-forgotten chapter in the annals of military history. Thousands of Afghan soldiers, many of whom were part of the Mohammadan Regiment of the Indian Army, fought alongside the Allied forces in various theatres of the war, including Mesopotamia and France. Their bravery and sacrifices were instrumental in securing Allied victories and shaping the course of the war. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich and complex history of Afghanistan and its people, and the role they played in shaping the world we know today. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience and courage of soldiers, regardless of their nationality or background, who have answered the call to duty in times of war.
