EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the frenetic activity of loading hay onto the Italian steamship, "Italian," during the Turco-Italian War in 1911. The Italian army, which had recently invaded Tripoli in modern-day Libya, was in urgent need of provisions to sustain its troops and horses. The question of feeding the Italian forces was particularly pressing due to the outbreak of cholera in the area and the exorbitant price of food in Tripoli. The hay, piled high on the dockside, would be essential fodder for the horses that were an integral part of the Italian military machine. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and working tirelessly, are seen loading the hay onto the ship using cranes and ropes. The steamship, with its Italian flag flying proudly, looms large in the background, ready to transport the vital supplies to the front lines. The Turco-Italian War, also known as the Italo-Turkish War, was a colonial conflict between the Italian and Ottoman empires over the control of Tripoli and Cyrenaica in Libya. The war lasted from September 1911 to October 1912 and resulted in an Italian victory, leading to the establishment of the Italian colony of Libya. This photograph offers a glimpse into the logistical challenges faced by the Italian army during the conflict and the importance of ensuring the welfare of its troops and animals.
