EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of camaraderie and determination between two African soldiers of the Monde and Wolof peoples of Senegambia, serving with the French army during World War One. Dressed in their military uniforms, complete with helmets and rifles, they stand against a backdrop of a muddy trench, the harsh realities of the battlefield evident in the worn clothing and weary expressions on their faces. The 20th century was a pivotal time in the history of Africa, as European powers sought to expand their empires and assert their influence on the continent. Senegambia, a region encompassing present-day Senegal and The Gambia, was a French colony at the time, and many of its inhabitants were conscripted into the French military to fight in the far-off war in Europe. These soldiers, hailing from the Monde and Wolof peoples, were among the thousands of African troops who served in the French army during World War One. Their participation in the war was a testament to the complex and often contentious relationship between European colonial powers and the peoples they ruled. While some saw military service as a means of gaining education, skills, and opportunities, others were coerced or forced into service, and many endured harsh conditions and discrimination. Despite these challenges, the soldiers of Senegambia played a crucial role in the war effort, serving in various capacities, from laborers and porters to combat soldiers. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their contributions to the history of the 20th century and the enduring legacy of the African diaspora in the global military landscape.
