EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of respite for two intrepid medical colleagues, Dr. NP Jewell and Styles Webb, during the harsh realities of the First World War in East Africa, 1916. The image was taken at Maktau Camp, located in the British colony of Kenya, where the two men served as part of the British Expeditionary Force's medical corps. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, with the men seated on folding chairs in front of their tent, their uniforms bearing the marks of long service. Dr. Jewell, with a pipe clenched between his teeth, gazes off into the distance, deep in thought or contemplation. Styles Webb, with a pipe in hand, looks directly at the camera, his expression one of weary but determined resolve. The camp surroundings are sparse, with the tent and a few scattered belongings the only signs of civilization in the vast, untamed African landscape. The men's uniforms, complete with brass buttons and intricate designs, serve as a reminder of their military duties and the ongoing conflict that had brought them to this remote corner of the world. Despite the challenges of the war, the camaraderie and support of colleagues like Dr. Jewell were essential to maintaining morale and persevering through the hardships. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these two men, their shared experiences, and the indomitable spirit that carried them through the trials of wartime service in Africa.
