EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history as an aircraft undergoes repairs in 1916. Taken by an English photographer, this image is part of a collection compiled by Maj W Leith-Ross, who served in the Indian Army Staff during World War I. The photo showcases the dedication and resilience of the soldiers involved in the Battle of Sheik Saad, which took place from January 6th to 24th, 1916, during the Mesopotamian campaign. In this scene, military personnel can be seen working diligently on the biplane amidst a backdrop of war-torn surroundings. The image not only highlights the importance of air power during this time but also pays tribute to those who fought bravely for their countries. The presence of soldiers dressed in military uniforms adds depth to the narrative and serves as a reminder of their sacrifices. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back to an era defined by conflict and turmoil. It serves as a powerful testament to human ingenuity and determination amidst adversity. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this photograph offers us a glimpse into our shared history. It stands as both an artistic representation capturing raw emotions and an invaluable historical document that sheds light on one chapter of World War I - "the Great War. "
