EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and bravery of the Dunsterforce infantry, specifically the Staffordshires, during their advance towards the Binagarby Oil Wells in the Turkish front during World War 1. The year was 1918, and these British soldiers were on a mission to secure the strategic oil fields, which had previously been under Armenian control. The desolate, sandy terrain of the Middle East stretches out behind them, providing a stark contrast to the lush green uniforms and equipment they carry. As they move forward, the infantrymen are met with intense machine gun fire from the Turkish forces. The scene is one of great tension, as bullets whiz through the air and the soldiers press on, their faces set with focus and determination. The smoke from the gunfire rises in the background, adding to the chaotic and dangerous atmosphere. The Binagarby Oil Wells were of great importance during this time, as they provided a crucial source of fuel for the British war effort. The capture of these wells was a significant victory for the Allies, and the determination of the Dunsterforce infantry to push through the Turkish defenses despite heavy resistance is a testament to their courage and commitment. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War, and the importance of strategic resources in the context of global conflict. The image of the Staffordshires advancing through the desert, under fire, is a powerful one that speaks to the bravery and resilience of the men who fought in this far-off land.
