EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Band, 1914" captures a moment frozen in time during the tumultuous era of World War I. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this print showcases the musical talents of a military band stationed in East Africa. Intriguingly, this particular image is part of a private collection belonging to Maj William Dickinson from the 2nd Bn Kings African Rifles. It is one of twenty-seven photographs carefully preserved by him during his service in 1914. The band members proudly display their brass instruments as they prepare to play melodies that undoubtedly provided solace and inspiration amidst the chaos of war. Their African heritage adds a unique dimension to their role as soldiers and musicians, symbolizing unity and resilience across cultures. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to an era defined by conflict but also marked by human creativity and expression through music. The instruments themselves become powerful symbols of hope and camaraderie amid adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that music had on those who fought bravely during World War I. It encapsulates not only the spirit of these soldiers but also pays homage to all those who served during this defining period known as "The Great War. "
