EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the early days of World War I. In Konya, Turkey, a group of dervishes don their traditional robes and fez hats as they gather on a train track. These religious men were called up for the militia during this tumultuous period in history. The image captures the solemn expressions on their faces, hinting at the weight of responsibility that has been placed upon them. Standing together in unity, they symbolize the strength and resilience of the Turkish people during this challenging time. The composition is striking, with the railroad stretching into the distance behind them. It serves as a powerful metaphor for their journey into an uncertain future filled with sacrifice and hardship. These dervishes hold deep spiritual significance within Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam. Their presence in this war effort highlights how religion can intersect with worldly conflicts, shaping individuals' roles even within military contexts. Preserved by Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung on March 14th, 1915, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Turkish history. It reminds us of both the sacrifices made by these brave men and women during World War I and also serves as a testament to humanity's ability to find solace and strength through faith even amidst chaos and destruction.
