EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment of respite and camaraderie among soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force during the harsh realities of the Battle of Arras in 1917. The photograph was taken on June 5th, in the small French village of Blangy, near the front lines. In the foreground, soldiers are seen washing in a makeshift basin formed by a large shell hole. The water, likely collected from a nearby source, is being heated over a small fire. The soldiers, dressed in their heavy uniforms and mud-covered boots, engage in a daily routine of maintaining their personal hygiene amidst the chaos and danger of the battlefield. The First World War (1914-1918) was marked by the unprecedented scale of destruction and the deplorable living conditions that soldiers endured. The importance of cleanliness and hygiene, however, was recognized as crucial for the prevention of disease and the maintenance of morale. Soldiers would often take turns washing in communal basins, such as the one depicted in this photograph. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the daily struggles and sacrifices made by soldiers during the Great War. It also highlights the resilience and camaraderie that emerged in the face of adversity. The soldiers in this photograph, despite the harsh conditions, manage to find a moment of relief and connection, washing together in a shell hole on the front lines of the Battle of Blangy in France.
