EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the Battlefields of France during the First World War, the daily routine of maintaining hygiene for the British soldiers became a crucial aspect of survival. On the 21st of April, 1917, in the midst of the ongoing conflict, a soldier takes a moment to wash himself in a makeshift bath, using a shell hole as a basin. The image, captured during the Battle of Arras, portrays a poignant moment of respite amidst the harsh realities of trench warfare. The soldier, wearing a heavy greatcoat and a steel helmet, leans over the edge of the shell hole, dipping a tin cup into the water. The water, collected from the crater left by a previous artillery shell, is murky and likely contaminated, yet it offers a temporary relief from the grime and dirt that had accumulated on the soldiers' bodies. The soldier's expression is one of focus and determination, a testament to the unwavering spirit of the soldiers on the front lines. The image serves as a stark reminder of the daily struggles and hardships faced by the soldiers during the First World War. Despite the harsh conditions, the soldiers found ways to maintain their hygiene, often using whatever resources were available to them. This photograph, taken during a brief moment of stillness amidst the chaos of the battlefield, offers a glimpse into the human side of the war and the resilience of the soldiers who fought in it.
