EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the Last British Camel Company, stationed in Sudan during World War I, in a moment of camaraderie and relaxation. Dated between 1918 and 1919, the image showcases a large assembly of soldiers, clad in their military uniforms, gathered around their canine mascot. The men, a diverse mix of ethnicities and backgrounds, are seated and standing, some with their arms around each other, creating a sense of unity and brotherhood. The harsh desert terrain of Sudan is evident in the background, with the sandy landscape stretching out behind the soldiers. The presence of the camels, the iconic mode of transportation in the Middle Eastern theatre of war, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The inclusion of the mascot dog, a beloved and integral part of the company, underscores the humanizing element of this military unit. This historical photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the Last British Camel Company, providing a poignant reminder of the experiences of the soldiers who served in this little-known yet significant chapter of World War I history.
