One of the rarest theatres of the First World War captured on a real-photo postcard — British and African troops crouch behind a log-and-thatch field fortification at Edéa, Cameroon, rifles at the ready, the dense equatorial forest pressing in around them. The Kamerun Campaign of 1914–1916, in which Anglo-French forces drove the Germans from their West African colony, produced very few contemporary photographic postcards; this bilingual example ("English trench, EDEA — Tranchée anglaise à EDEA, Cameroun") was published by Moukarim Frères of Douala & Libreville and printed by Imp. R. Pruvost, 159 r. Montmartre, Paris. The detail enlargement reveals a mix of uniformed European officers and Tirailleurs or local auxiliaries, some armed with rifles, sheltering in what appears to be a covered command bunker — a vivid, unposed document of colonial warfare in the jungle. Cards depicting actual combat positions from the Kamerun Campaign are extraordinarily scarce on the philatelic market.
