EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at a station on the Susa North Railway in German Cameroon, West Central Africa, during the early years of the First World War, around 1914. The Susa North Railway was a vital strategic asset for the German colonial forces, connecting the port of Douala on the Atlantic coast with the interior of the country. In this image, we see a view of the station, with its rails stretching off into the distance, flanked by the towering guns of the German artillery. Soldiers are visible in the foreground, standing guard and tending to the weapons, while in the background, the roofs of huts and other buildings can be seen. The atmosphere is one of tense anticipation, as the First World War was spreading beyond Europe and into its colonies. The Great War in Africa would see intense fighting between German and Allied forces in Cameroon, with the eventual defeat of the Germans in 1916. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, as the world was forever changed by the events of the First World War.
