Barrak - The Camel Corps Review" is a historic print depicting a grand parade of the Imperial Camel Corps during their review in Cairo on 1st July 1917. The photograph, belonging to 2779 Private Harold Rothwell of the 4th Company, captures the essence of the desert campaign in the Sinai Peninsula during World War I. The Imperial Camel Corps was formed in 1916 to provide mounted infantry for the harsh desert conditions of the Middle East. The Corps saw action in several battles, including the Battle of Romani and the Battle of Magdhaba. The review in Cairo marked a significant moment in the Corps' history, showcasing the readiness and discipline of its men and their camels. Private Harold Rothwell's copy of "Barrak - The Camel Corps Review" is inscribed with the address of his father, Mr. T. Rothwell, at 44 Manchester Road, Bury, Lancs. The editorial on the print reads "Cairo, 1st July 1917," providing a tangible connection to the past and the events that unfolded over a century ago. As a testament to the historical significance of the Imperial Camel Corps and the role they played in the Great War, this print offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era. The image of the Camel Corps, with their distinctive uniforms and their steadfast camels, stands as a symbol of bravery, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who served in the deserts of Egypt and Palestine. This print is an essential addition to any collection of World War I memorabilia or for those interested in military history, providing a fascinating insight into the experiences of the Imperial Camel Corps and the challenges they faced in the harsh desert conditions of the Middle East.
