EDITORS COMMENTS
In the arid landscape of Palestine during the First World War, the Turkish army devised a cunning and deadly deception to ensnare unsuspecting enemies. This photograph, taken in September 1917 near the city of Gaza, reveals a Turkish booby trap, meticulously disguised as an inviting scene. The table, laden with food and drink, appears to be a welcome respite for weary soldiers in the midst of the harsh desert. The crates and baskets, filled with what appear to be provisions, add to the allure. However, this idyllic scene belies the hidden danger lurking beneath the surface. The bottles and food, in fact, are part of a deadly booby trap. The bottles, filled with a lethal concoction, would release poisonous gas when disturbed. The food, too, was laced with deadly toxins. The Turkish army used such traps to great effect during the Battle of Gaza, which took place from March 26 to April 7, 1917. The Middle East theatre of the First World War was marked by its harsh conditions and unforgiving terrain. The use of such booby traps was a common tactic employed by both sides to gain an advantage in this unforgiving environment. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the dangerous and unpredictable nature of war, and the lengths to which soldiers would go to outwit their enemies. The date of this photograph is September 1917, and it was taken during the latter stages of the war. The Turkish army, under the command of Liman von Sanders, had been attempting to push back the British forces, who had captured Gaza in March. The use of booby traps like this one was a desperate measure to turn the tide of the battle in their favor. The photograph is a chilling reminder of the dangers faced by soldiers during wartime and the lengths to which they would go to survive.
