Embarkation Point Salaam Tanzania
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at the embarkation point in Dar es Salaam, East Africa, during World War I in 1916. The image transports us back in time to the height of the conflict, as soldiers from various allied nations prepare to embark on ships bound for the front lines. The buildings along the water's edge, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, provide a stark contrast to the chaos and activity on the docks. Soldiers in uniforms from Great Britain, France, Belgium, and other countries can be seen milling about, loading supplies and equipment onto the ships, and bidding farewell to loved ones. The harbor, with its calm waters and coastal backdrop, serves as a poignant reminder of the long and perilous journey that lay ahead for these brave men. The scene is a testament to the global nature of the war effort, with soldiers from all corners of the world coming together to fight for a common cause. This photograph, from The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the experiences of soldiers and civilians during the 1910s and the First World War. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this pivotal moment in history, and the enduring impact of war on individuals and communities around the world.
