EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of triumph as British forces, led by General Jan Smuts, entered the port city of Dar-es-Salaam in September 1916, marking the end of German rule in East Africa during World War I. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement as soldiers, many of them from the South African Native Labour Corps, march through the palm-lined streets, their uniforms a testament to their military discipline. The air is filled with the sound of brass pipes and drums as a military band plays, adding to the jubilant atmosphere. Mules and donkeys laden with supplies follow closely behind, their animals a vital means of transportation in the rugged terrain. The surrender of German forces in Dar-es-Salaam paved the way for the British to take control of German East Africa, later known as Tanganyika, and establish colonial rule. This momentous event marked a turning point in the war and signified the expansion of British colonial influence in Africa.
