EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the 4th Indian Division in action during the Tunisian Campaign of the Second World War, in April 1943. Formed in Egypt in 1939, the 4th Indian Division, also known as the Red Eagle Division, played an extensive role in Africa, Syria, and Italy. In this image, Indian soldiers can be seen advancing through rugged terrain, their determined expressions and focused gaze reflecting the intensity of the battle. The Division gained a formidable reputation for mountain fighting and had the honor of capturing the Axis commander in North Africa, General von Arnim. This photograph is one of 52 images taken and collected by Lt Col J A C Greenwood during his service with the 4th Indian Division between 1941 and 1943, in Eritrea, North Africa, the Middle East, and Italy. The historic significance of this photograph lies in its documentation of the Division's valiant efforts in the Tunisian Campaign, a pivotal moment in the Allied victory in the European theater of the war.
