EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during World War I at Tembo Camp in Kenya, East Africa, in 1915. The scene shows a group of soldiers engaged in an ambulance drill, meticulously preparing for the demands of the battlefield. With the harsh African sun casting long shadows, the men practice maneuvering wheeled stretchers, each one equipped with two large wheels and a collapsible frame. Their determined expressions and focused attention are a testament to their commitment and the importance of medical support during wartime. The Tembo Camp, situated in the British East Africa Protectorate, served as a vital base for the Allied forces during the East African Campaign of World War I. The camp was established to support the advance of the British Empire's military forces against the German colonial power. The soldiers in this photograph represent the essential role of medical personnel and logistical support in ensuring the survival and well-being of the troops. The use of wheeled stretchers allowed for more efficient transportation of the wounded, enabling them to receive timely medical attention and potentially saving lives. The soldiers' uniforms, weapons, and equipment reflect the conditions and challenges of the 1910s, offering a glimpse into the history of this significant period in world history. This photograph, part of The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the men and women who served during World War I, as well as the importance of medical support and logistical preparation in the face of conflict.
