EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken during World War One in Iraq (Mesopotamia) showcases the British Royal Engineers stationed at Ashar Creek in Basra. In the image, a distinguished Royal Engineer stands confidently by the creek's side, surrounded by a diverse group of children and onlookers. The scene exudes a sense of ease amidst the chaos of war. The photo captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the historical significance of this region. Mesopotamia's rich history is evident through its ancient buildings lining the shore, creating an intriguing backdrop for this snapshot. The horizon over land stretches as far as the eye can see, symbolizing both hope and uncertainty. The presence of children adds an element of innocence to this wartime setting. Their curious gazes meet with that of the Royal Engineer looking directly into the camera lens, creating a connection between past and present generations. As we delve into this image further, we notice several boats dotting Ashar Creek - vessels that were likely used for transportation or military purposes during this period. These boats serve as reminders of how crucial waterways were for communication and logistics during times of conflict. Photographer John Short skillfully captures not only individuals but also moments from history through his lens. This print offers us a glimpse into life during World War One in Iraq while highlighting themes such as diversity, resilience, and human connection amidst adversity.
