EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - The British Somaliland Camel Corps in Solamia. Proudly representing the regiment of The Kings African Rifles, this image showcases the strength and resilience of these brave soldiers during World War II. Taken on 7th August 1940, amidst a vast desert landscape adorned with billowing clouds, the photograph transports us to an era where conflicts shaped nations. The Union Jack flag proudly flutters above the troops, symbolizing their allegiance to Britain and its colonies. The British Somaliland Camel Corps played a crucial role in both military operations and maintaining internal security within colonial territories. Their dedication and service extended beyond East Africa as they served outside their homeland during the tumultuous World Wars. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the 20th century, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these courageous men who fought for freedom and justice. This picture serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment towards preserving peace amid chaos.
