EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at El Kubri, Egypt, during the First World War, as Somali camels are used for transporting British troops and supplies to reinforce the defenses of the Suez Canal. Dated November 1, 1916, this image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of war in the Middle East during this period. The Suez Canal, a vital strategic waterway connecting Europe and Asia, was a major target for the Central Powers during the First World War. The British Empire, which controlled the canal, stationed significant military forces in the region to protect it from invasion. The men in this photograph, dressed in uniforms and armed with rifles, are seen mounting the hump-backed Somali camels, their faces set with determination and focus. The camels, with their distinctive humps and long, curved necks, are expertly tethered to each other in a line, forming a train that stretches into the distance. The desert landscape in the background is barren and arid, with the sun casting long shadows over the sandy terrain. The image exudes a sense of isolation and hardship, as the soldiers and their camel transport prepare to traverse the harsh conditions of the Egyptian desert to reach their destination. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their animals during the First World War, as they braved the challenges of the desert to protect the vital Suez Canal and secure the strategic interests of their respective nations.
