EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and leisure among the RAOC (Royal Army Ordnance Corps) Mustapha Barracks football team in Alexandria, Egypt during World War I. Dated between 1918 and 1919, the image showcases a diverse group of British soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, gathered around their football (soccer ball). The team, based at Mustapha Barracks in Alexandria, represents an important aspect of military life during the First World War, as soldiers sought relief from the rigors of combat through sports and other recreational activities. The soldiers in the photograph, a mix of officers and enlisted men, are seen in high spirits as they pose for the camera. Their uniforms, adorned with various insignia and badges, reflect their roles within the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. The team's football jerseys, bearing the insignia of the RAOC, add a sense of unity and pride to the image. The backdrop of Alexandria, Egypt, serves as a reminder of the far-reaching impact of the war, with soldiers from various corners of the British Empire coming together to fight a common enemy. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of these soldiers, revealing the importance of community and morale-boosting activities during a time of great hardship and uncertainty. This historical image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the human side of the First World War and the resilience and determination of the soldiers who served during this pivotal period in world history.
