EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "On the long march through torrid heat at Baghdad, 1917" captures a significant moment in history during World War I. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this image showcases British troops enduring harsh conditions while marching through the scorching heat of Mesopotamia. The soldiers depicted in the photo wear pith helmets to protect themselves from the relentless sun as they make their way towards Baghdad. Their determination is palpable despite facing challenging circumstances. The men are dressed in shorts and puttees, reflecting their adaptation to the demanding desert environment. This photograph holds particular significance as it marks a pivotal event - the capture of Baghdad by British forces on March 11th, 1917. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by those who fought during World War I and sheds light on their experiences in unfamiliar territories. Through its monochromatic composition, this image evokes a sense of nostalgia and highlights both the bravery and resilience exhibited by these male infantry soldiers. As part of a private collection now available for public viewing, this print offers viewers an opportunity to connect with history and appreciate the sacrifices made during times of war.
