Canadian heroes buried where they fell on the barbed wire
Image by National Library of Scotland
Makeshift graveyard for Canadian soldiers. This striking and poignant image shows three crudely made crosses standing upright amongst a tangle of barbed wire. At first it is difficult to make out the crucifixes amongst the debris of war.
This image was intended for propaganda purposes and would possibly have been used in British and/or Canadian newspapers. Images such as this have the effect of strengthening the ordinary people's bond with the soldiers from all countries fighting on the Allies' side.

tribes of kenia

Samburu warrior.
The Samburu are related to the Masai although they live just above the equator where the foothills of Mount Kenya merge into the northern desert and slightly south of Lake Turkana in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya.
They are semi-nomadic pastoralists whose lives revolve around their cows, sheep, goats, and camels. Milk is their main stay; sometimes it is mixed with blood. Meat is only eaten on special occasions. Generally they make soups from roots and barks and eat vegetables if living in an area where they can be grown.
Most dress in very traditional clothing of bright red material used like a skirt and multi-beaded necklaces, bracelets and earrings, especially when living away from the big cities.
The Samburu developed from one of the later Nilotic migrations from the Sudan, as part of the Plains Nilotic movement. The broader grouping of the Maa-speaking people continued moving south, possibly under the pressure of the Borana expansion into their plains. Maa-speaking peoples have lived and fought from Mt. Elgon to Malindi and down the Rift Valley into Tanzania. The Samburu are in an early settlement area of the Maa group.
Those who moved on south, however (called Masai), have retained a more purely nomadic lifestyle until recently when they have also begun farming. The expanding Turkana ran into the Samburu around 1700 when they began expanding north and east.
The language of the Samburu people is also called Samburu. It is a Maa language very close to the Masai dialects. Linguists have debated the distinction between the Samburu and Masai languages for decades.
Generally between five and ten families set up encampments for five weeks and then move on to new pastures. Adult men care for the grazing cattle which are the major source of livelihood. Women are in charge of maintaining the portable huts, milking cows, obtaining water and gathering firewood. Their houses are of plastered mud or hides and grass mats stretched over a frame of poles. A fence of thorns surrounds each family's cattle yard and huts.
Their society has for long been so organized around cattle and warfare (for defense and for raiding others) that they find it hard to change to a more limited lifestyle. The purported benefits of modern life are often undesirable to the Samburu. They remain much more traditional in life and attitude than their Masai cousins.
Duties of boys and girls are clearly delineated. Boys herd cattle and goats and learn to hunt, defending the flocks. Girls fetch water and wood and cook. Both boys and girls go
through an initiation into adulthood, which involves training in adult responsibilities and circumcision for boys and clitoridectomy for girls.

Dear Sir:
When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations build up from our own ranks.
I'm not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people.
Sincerely yours,
Albert Einstein.

Three officers having a chat - wearing trench waders
Image by National Library of Scotland
Mud-splattered officers wearing trench waders enjoying a chat. This image shows three mud-splattered officers wearing trench waders enjoying a light-hearted chat. The fact that their feet are not visible on the ground gives an indication of how deep the mud was. As shown by this image, it was not just the enemy that front line soldiers had to fight against: it was also the terrible conditions and subsequent illnesses. The combination of mud, rats, lice and rotting corpses ensured that disease was rife and the stench overpowering. 'Trench Foot and 'Trench Fever were just two of the infections that stemmed directly from the appalling living conditions. In his autobiography, 'Goodbye to All That, Robert Graves describes in graphic detail what life and death was like in the trenches, and highlights the large number of suicides that took place. Siegfried Sassoon also wrote about the suicides - and suicides by proxy - that took place in the Allied trenches.

New 5.9 gun captured by us - gun was finished on 13th Feb.,1917
Image by National Library of Scotland
The huge gun carriage in the middle of the image, and the specially dug ditch it is sitting in, are given scale by the two soldiers in the background. They are working around a similar gun, in a very similar position. There is none of the whirlwind activity and hard work normally associated with artillery crews, evident in this picture. This photograph is thought to have been taken by John Warwick Brooke.
5.9 inch guns were so heavy that manoeuvring them was a real problem. To overcome this they were mounted on rails, although this involved more co-ordination and preparation for an attack. During 1917 Germany produced on average 400 pieces of artillery a month, compared to Britain's 540 pieces per month.

An ode to a passage
Image by 'Camera baba' aka Udit Kulshrestha
A passage at Jodha bai's palace
Fatehpur Sikri (Urdu: فتحپور سیکری, Hindi: फतेहपूर सिकरी) was the political capital of India's Mughal Empire under Akbar's reign, from 1571 until 1585, when it was abandoned, ostensibly due to lack of water. It is located in what is now Uttar Pradesh, India.
The name of the place came after Mughal Emperor Babar defeated Ranga Sanga in a battle at a place called Sikri (about 40 KM from Agra). Then Mughal Emperor Akbar wanted to make Fatehpur Sikri his head quarters. So he built this majestic fort. But due to shortage of water he had to ultimately move his HQ to Agra Fort.
Akbar had no child. After the blessing of Sufi Saint Salim Chisti he was blessed with a male child who became the heir to his throne, he was named Salim (after the name of Sufi Saint Salim) who later become Emperor Jahangir. The tomb "Salim Chisti Ka Mazar" was built in honour of Sufi saint Salim Chishti in 1571 by Mughal emperor Akbar. Earlier it was built with red sand stone but later converted into beautiful marble mauseleum. This was built much later the Fatehpur Sikri Fort was built by Akbar.
The fort is situated at 27° 05' N latitude and 77° 39' E longtitude and a mean altitude of 708 meters above sea level.
Fatehpur Sikri shared its imperial duties as a capital city with Agra, where a bulk of the arsenal, treasure hoards, and other reserves were kept at its Red Fort for security. During a crisis, the court, harem, and treasury could be removed to Agra, only 26 miles away, less than a day's march.
Innovations in land revenue, coinage, military organisation, and provincial administration emerged during the Fatehpur Sikri years.
It is regarded as Emperor Akbar's crowning architectural legacy. Indeed, its numerous palaces, halls, and masjids satisfy his creative and aesthetic impulses, typical of Mughals.
Fatehpur Sikri is a World Heritage Site. Some contemporary Indian architects, notably B. V. Doshi, have cited it as an important source of inspiration. Architect or layperson, this city generally captures the imagination and wonder of all who experience its urban spaces and see its buildings. Charles and Ray Eames, cited Fatehpur Sikri in the landmark 'India Report' that led to the conception of the National Institute of Design, India's premiere design school.
