EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique scene from the tumultuous era of World War One. In the heart of Mesopotamia, amidst the unforgiving desert terrain, railway locomotives stand side by side with supply camels, forming an unlikely alliance in the face of war. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness employed by military forces during this time. The steam trains, symbols of industrial progress, are juxtaposed against the rugged beauty of their surroundings. Laden with cargo and materiel essential for warfare, these trains were vital in maintaining crucial supply lines across vast distances. Amidst this backdrop, soldiers can be seen diligently loading goods onto both locomotives and camels. They represent not only their respective nations but also embody resilience and determination in the face of adversity. These troops from different corners of the world came together to serve a common cause. Lt. Kindom's album provides us with a glimpse into his experiences as part of the 134th Coy Machine Gun Corps and 7th Meerut Division during World War One. This photograph serves as a testament to their efforts on behalf of their countries. As we observe this historical snapshot captured by an English photographer over a century ago, it reminds us that even amidst chaos and conflict, humanity finds ways to adapt and overcome challenges through innovation and collaboration.
