EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the harsh winter of 1917, as Royal Engineers of the British Expeditionary Force make their way east of Contalmaison in France. The image, taken during World War I, shows the soldiers in single file, carefully navigating the snow-covered ground. The winter of 1917 was particularly challenging for the Allied forces, with freezing temperatures and heavy snow making movement along the front lines difficult. The Royal Engineers played a crucial role in the war effort, constructing and maintaining roads, bridges, and other essential infrastructure. Their expertise was essential for the successful advance of troops and the supply of resources to the front lines. In this photograph, we see them in their element, bundled up against the cold, focused on their mission. The scene is set against the backdrop of the desolate winter landscape, with barren trees and a grey, overcast sky. The soldiers' determination and resilience are palpable, as they press on through the challenging conditions. This historical image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of warfare during World War I and the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Royal Engineers and the British military during the First World War. It is a testament to their courage, resourcefulness, and commitment to their duty, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
