Cameroon Cameroons Guns Mats Rifles Rolled Sava Trench Trenches War Time Weapons Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the harsh realities of the First World War as experienced by the French troops stationed in Cameroon, West Central Africa, in 1914. The image shows a view of a French trench at Sava, a strategic location in the Cameroonian theatre of the Great War. The rugged terrain is dotted with rolled barbed wire, evidence of the constant need for fortification against enemy advances. French soldiers can be seen huddled in the trench, using mats for insulation against the cold and damp ground. In the background, the ominous silhouettes of guns and weapons, including rifles, are ready for action. The presence of these deadly instruments underscores the ever-present threat of combat. The vast expanse of the African savannah stretches out beyond the trench, a stark contrast to the confined and claustrophobic environment of the trenches. The harsh conditions of war time Cameroon are on full display, with the sun casting long shadows over the landscape. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War, regardless of where the battlefields were located.
