EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of disembarkation for the Middlesex Yeomanry Cavalry regiment as they step ashore from the Nile transport, SS 'Royal Edward', at Alexandria harbor during World War I in 1915. The horses, heads turned towards the shore, appear calm and obedient despite the unfamiliar surroundings and the chaos of the busy harbor. Soldiers in uniform, some leading their horses by reins, others mounting, fill the deck of the ship as they prepare to begin their next mission. The backdrop of the Egyptian desert and the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea add to the sense of adventure and anticipation. The Middlesex Yeomanry, a part of the British Expeditionary Force, played a crucial role in the defense of Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula during the war. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual connection to the bravery and determination of the soldiers who served during this pivotal time in world history.
