EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Army Barracks in Crater (Kraytar), Aden, during the British colonial era in the Middle East, circa 1920s. The image reveals a well-organized military encampment nestled amidst the arid landscape. The barracks, constructed in a neat grid-like pattern, exhibit the architectural influence of the British Empire's colonial design. The military structures, with their red-roofed buildings and expansive parade ground, stand in stark contrast to the barren surroundings. The Crater district, also known as Seera, was a significant British military stronghold in the port city of Aden, which served as a strategic base for the protection of British interests in the region. The photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, offering insights into the military presence and colonial architecture that once defined this part of the Middle East.
