EDITORS COMMENTS
Major McGillivray of the 2CFA (Colonial Forces of Africa) stands proudly before a line of palm trees in Dar es Salaam, East Africa, during World War I. The year was 1916, and the British officer's confident expression and relaxed posture convey a sense of command and control in this wartime setting. The African landscape, with its lush vegetation and warm sunlight, provides a stark contrast to the harsh realities of war. Major McGillivray's uniform, complete with his peaked cap and pipe clenched between his teeth, signifies his rank and military status. The presence of his soldiers in the background further underscores the importance of the British military presence in East Africa during this period. Dar es Salaam, now the largest city in Tanzania, was a vital strategic location for the British during World War I. It served as a key port and military base, and the region was a major theater of operations for the German colonial forces. The British ultimately emerged victorious, and the city became a symbol of their imperial power in Africa. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a British officer in East Africa during the First World War. It captures the essence of the 1910s, a time of great upheaval and change, and provides a fascinating window into the past. The image is part of The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library and offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in history.
