EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures Lieutenant Lane of the M.I.N. (Mauritius Infantry) Regiment, standing amongst his native Cameroonian soldiers at Sava, a small town in west central Africa, during the early days of the First World War in 1914. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, highlighting the wide brimmed hats of the soldiers, a necessary protection against the intense African sun. The Lieutenant, dressed in his full military uniform, wears a brimmed hat of his own, the familiar insignia of the British Army visible on its crown. The diverse group of soldiers, with their varied skin tones and traditional clothing, stand proudly, each holding their rifles at the ready. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the global reach of the Great War, with British forces and native soldiers united in their efforts to defend their homeland against German invasion. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the multicultural dynamics of the British Army during this period, and the shared experiences of soldiers from all corners of the world.
