EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from World War I captures the resilience and strength of Cameroonian women as they carry water to a British traction engine. Taken in rural Cameroon around 1916, the sepia-toned image showcases the early machinery used during wartime operations. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a powerful display of unity between different cultures and nations. The British Empire's presence in Cameroon is evident through the imposing traction engine, while local Cameroonian women dutifully fulfill their role by providing essential water for its operation. The determination etched on their faces tells a story of sacrifice and solidarity amidst the chaos of war. These brave women play an integral part in supporting military efforts, ensuring that vital supplies reach their destination despite challenging circumstances. As we reflect upon this remarkable piece of history, it serves as a reminder that even during times of conflict, humanity can find common ground. This photograph encapsulates not only the hardships faced by those involved in World War I but also highlights how individuals from diverse backgrounds came together to overcome adversity. Preserved within this print is a testament to the indomitable spirit displayed by both British soldiers and Cameroonian civilians alike. It stands as a tribute to all those who contributed selflessly during one of history's most tumultuous periods – World War I.
