EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment during the East African campaign of World War I. In this powerful image, Askaris can be seen diligently maneuvering a field gun into position. The intense focus on their faces reflects the gravity of the situation they find themselves in. The photographer, an English artist from the 20th century, skillfully captured this scene with great attention to detail. The print is now part of a private collection housed at the eNational Army Museum, ensuring its preservation for future generations to appreciate. The East African campaign was a significant theater of war during World War I, as German forces fought against British and Allied troops in an attempt to maintain control over their colonies in Africa. This particular image showcases the crucial role played by Askaris - local soldiers who served under German command. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back in time to witness these brave men working together amidst challenging conditions. Their determination and teamwork are evident as they prepare for battle with their formidable weapon - a field gun capable of unleashing devastating firepower. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals from all corners of the globe during one of humanity's darkest chapters - World War I.
