EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during the Second Abyssinian War in October 1935. In this historical image, we witness the sheer determination and power of the Italian army as they navigate through the treacherous terrain that lies between Adigrat and Makale in Ethiopia. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the Carro Veloce (CV) 33 tankettes, which dominate the scene with their formidable presence. These armored personnel carriers symbolize both military might and technological advancement, showcasing Italy's commitment to conquering new territories. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are struck by the challenging landscape that these tankettes must traverse. The trackless and difficult country serves as a reminder of nature's resistance against human aggression. Yet, undeterred by these obstacles, these machines forge ahead with unwavering resolve. Photographer George Greenwell has skillfully captured not only a significant moment in history but also an intense juxtaposition between man-made machinery and untamed wilderness. This image encapsulates both the destructive force of war and mankind's relentless pursuit for dominance. In preserving this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we honor those who fought on both sides during this conflict while acknowledging its impact on Africa and global politics in the early 20th century. It stands as a testament to humanity's complex relationship with warfare – one that continues to shape our world today.
