EDITORS COMMENTS
Pulley Bridge, Ashar Creek, Basra, Iraq, during the First World War (circa 1916) This evocative photograph captures the Pulley Bridge spanning Ashar Creek in the city of Basra, Iraq, during the First World War. The bridge, a vital link across the waterway, is bustling with activity as soldiers and local inhabitants go about their daily business amidst the backdrop of the ongoing conflict. The bridge, with its distinctive pulley system, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the engineers and builders who constructed it. The boats moored at the quay, laden with goods and supplies, attest to the importance of the waterway as a means of transportation in this region. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and armed with weapons, are a constant presence, reflecting the tense and uncertain atmosphere of wartime Basra. The locals, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, go about their daily routines, seemingly unfazed by the soldiers and the ongoing conflict. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Basra during the First World War, a time of upheaval and change in the Middle East. The Pulley Bridge, a symbol of connection and commerce, stands as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of communities in times of adversity.
