EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment during the War in East Africa in 1916. The map, which is part of a book titled "The Great World War: A History", showcases the conquest of Kilimanjaro and the initial phase of General Smuts' campaign. Arrows indicate the movements of General Jan Smuts, who led the British forces in their mission to conquer German East Africa during World War I. The image portrays a significant chapter in African colonial history, highlighting concepts such as imperialism and colonialism. It offers insight into the geographical features and positions held by both sides during this conflict. The coastal region, particularly Mombasa in Kenya, served as an important location for military operations. Mount Kilimanjaro stands tall amidst this battlefield map, symbolizing both strategic importance and natural beauty. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported back to a time when nations clashed over power and control on the African continent. Although we do not know who specifically captured this momentous event on film or created this particular print, it remains an invaluable piece from Heritage Images that allows us to delve into history's past. Let us remember those brave soldiers who fought tirelessly on these frontlines under General Jan Smuts' command - their sacrifices forever etched within these lines on a forgotten map.
