EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1917. The image shows a crowd of men and women gathered together after the city was conquered by the British Army during World War I. The people are dressed in traditional clothing, adding to the cultural significance of the scene.
The aerial view of Baghdad provides a unique perspective on this important event in history. General Sir Frederick Stanley Maude is believed to be among those present in the crowd, marking his role in the fall of Baghdad.
The photograph adds a sense of timelessness to the image, allowing viewers to transport themselves back to this pivotal moment over a century ago. The proclamation displayed in the photo signifies a new chapter for Baghdad under British rule.
As we reflect on this snapshot from 1917, we are reminded of the impact that war and conquest have on communities around the world. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and the resilience of those who have lived through times of conflict.
Through Bain News Service's lens, we are given a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten – an era that shaped nations and changed lives forever.
