EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment during the Subsidiary Wars in Africa, specifically in the region of Northern Rhodesia, now modern-day Zambia, during World War I. In 1915, a combined force of Northern Rhodesian colonists and Belgian troops worked together to construct a bridge over the Lusemfwa River. The Subsidiary Wars were a series of conflicts between European powers and African tribes in Africa, aimed at extending and consolidating colonial control. The Northern Rhodesian Rifles, a military unit raised from the European settlers and African soldiers in Northern Rhodesia, played a crucial role in these campaigns. The soldiers in this photograph, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, are in the process of building the bridge, which would have been essential for the movement of troops and supplies across the river. The bridge-building operation took place in a challenging environment, with the dense vegetation and rugged terrain of the African landscape providing a formidable backdrop. The soldiers work together, demonstrating the unity and determination required to overcome the logistical challenges of colonial warfare. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complex history of European colonialism in Africa during World War I. It highlights the role of local troops, such as the Northern Rhodesian Rifles, in the colonial project and the intricate relationships between European powers and African peoples during this period.
