EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of El-Amriya station canteen in Egypt during World War II. The scene depicts a long queue of soldiers, huddled together against the harsh desert winds, patiently waiting their turn to be served a hot meal. Established as a dispersal camp by the British Army, El-Amriya station played a crucial role in the logistical support of troops during the North African Campaign. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and armed with their equipment, stand in a disciplined line, their faces etched with the weariness of long campaigns and the harsh desert conditions. The canteen, a simple structure made of corrugated iron and wood, is bustling with activity. Cooks and servers work diligently to prepare and serve meals to the hungry troops. The aroma of freshly cooked food wafts through the air, providing a momentary respite from the harsh realities of war. The queue stretches out of the frame, a testament to the sheer number of soldiers who depended on the canteen for sustenance. The soldiers' expressions range from quiet determination to weary resignation, reflecting the hardships they faced both on and off the battlefield. The photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and solidarity among the troops, as they wait their turn to be fed and re-energized for the challenges ahead. The El-Amriya station canteen was a vital lifeline for the British troops in Egypt during the 1940s. It provided a much-needed break from the rigors of military life and offered a brief moment of comfort and sustenance amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war.
