EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling chaos of Lower Baghdad in 1915, a pontoon bridge spans the turbulent Tigris River, connecting the two banks of the ancient city. The bridge, a vital transportation link during the Mesopotamian campaign of World War One, is adorned with rushes and strings of lights, a telltale sign of an impending celebration or festival. The wind, a constant companion in this part of the world, whips through the air, causing the flags of the French Expeditionary Forces to flap precariously against the poles. British soldiers, stationed in Iraq during the conflict, gazed upon this scene with a mixture of awe and longing, sending postcards back home to loved ones as a reminder of the exotic and unfamiliar world they had found themselves in. The Tigris River, a historical waterway that has witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, continues to play a pivotal role in the daily lives of the people of Baghdad, its waters reflecting the ever-changing tapestry of history. This evocative image, captured over a century ago, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when the world was connected by the threads of war and the unyielding currents of history.
