EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the East African Campaign of World War II. While British Troops, led by Lieutenant General Cunningham, were occupying Addis Ababa, the Patriot Forces of Abyssinia, under their Emperor's command, launched a daring attack on the heavily fortified Italian post at Debra Marcos. The image showcases the relentless determination and bravery of the Patriot Troops as they fiercely engage in combat to capture the enemy stronghold. Taking full advantage of natural cover provided by trees and other elements of their surroundings, these soldiers demonstrate their tactical prowess. Dated 15th April 1941, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom during this tumultuous period in Africa's history. It symbolizes not only the courage and resilience displayed by both sides but also highlights Ethiopia's struggle against Italian occupation. Preserved through time by Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the heroism exhibited by individuals on all fronts during World War II. As we delve into its details - from uniforms worn to weapons brandished - we are transported back to an era where nations united against tyranny and oppression.
