EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the rugged terrain of southern Angola, Portuguese troops press on through the harsh West African countryside during the First World War, 1916. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, complete with helmets and pith helmets, the soldiers trudge along, their faces etched with the strain of the arduous journey. Their burdens are carried not only on their own backs but also on the backs of their faithful donkeys, which plod along, weary but determined. The landscape is dotted with the remnants of colonial infrastructure, such as carts and abandoned buildings, serving as stark reminders of Portugal's long-standing colonial presence in the region. The Portuguese colonial army faced numerous challenges during their campaign in Angola, including the harsh climate, difficult terrain, and resistance from local populations. This photograph captures the raw struggle and determination of the soldiers as they make their way through the unforgiving landscape, their focus unwavering as they press on in the service of their country.
