This print captures a remarkable moment during the tumultuous times of World War II. In June 1941, Colonel Collets Circassians, a group of resilient Turkish riders under French leadership, embarked on an arduous journey to reach the British Lines. Having braved numerous dangers and traversed treacherous high mountain ranges while skillfully avoiding frontier posts, these courageous individuals finally forced their way across the mighty River Jordan. Arriving at their destination drenched to the skin from their challenging expedition, they found themselves in the company of a British Officer who engaged them in conversation. The image depicts this intriguing encounter between cultures amidst the backdrop of conflict. The photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in times of war. It offers us a glimpse into the lives and experiences of these brave Circassians who risked everything for freedom and survival. Their story is one that resonates with courage and sacrifice.
