EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determined gaze and unwavering resolve of Lieutenant Syed Abdul Alajeed during World War I. Hailing from India, Syed Abdul Alajeed made history by becoming one of the few Indian soldiers to hold a commission on the Egyptian Front. The year was 1917, and the Great War was in its final stages. Syed Abdul Alajeed's journey to the battlefield was not an easy one. Born into a prominent Muslim family in Hyderabad, India, he was educated in England and became an accomplished sportsman, excelling in cricket, football, and athletics. His athletic prowess caught the attention of British military recruiters, who offered him a commission in the British Indian Army. In this photograph, Lieutenant Syed Abdul Alajeed is seen in full military regalia, wearing the uniform of the Indian Army. The harsh desert terrain of the Egyptian Front is evident in the background, with the sun casting long shadows over the barren landscape. The lieutenant's expression is focused and resolute, a testament to the unwavering courage and determination of the soldiers who fought on the front lines. Syed Abdul Alajeed's service during World War I is a reminder of the significant contributions made by Indian soldiers to the Allied war effort. Despite facing numerous challenges, including discrimination and poor living conditions, Indian soldiers fought bravely and valiantly, making up a significant portion of the British Indian Army. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Lieutenant Syed Abdul Alajeed and countless other Indian soldiers during World War I. It is a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit and resilience of those who served, and the important role they played in shaping the course of history.
