EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of Lebanon and the Middle East as British army officers gather to commemorate the occupation of Beirut (now Beyrout) and Tripoli by the 21st Army Corps in 1919. The solid rock on which the tablet was fixed, bearing the new inscription, carried many ancient inscriptions, the most recent before this being one by Napoleon III in 1860. In the image, we see a group of British officers, including Major Gwatkin, Lieutenant Blunt, Brigadier-General Simpson-Baiklie, Lieutenant E.F Bulfin, and Lieutenant-General Sir E.S Bulfin, standing in front of the newly erected tablet. Their stern expressions and military attire convey a sense of determination and authority. The conquest of Beirut and Tripoli marked the end of the Ottoman rule in the region and the beginning of the French and British Mandates in Lebanon and Syria. The 21st Army Corps, which had arrived in the region in 1918, played a significant role in the occupation and the establishment of British control. The inscription on the tablet commemorates this historical event and serves as a reminder of the complex and tumultuous history of the Middle East in the early 20th century. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past and offers a unique perspective on the role of military forces in shaping the political landscape of the region.
