Cadet Cadets Constructing Course Engineer Herbert Kitchener Watching War Time Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and determination of Royal Engineer cadets as they construct a wooden bridge during their training course in the early years of the First World War. Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War and a former Chief of the General Staff, watches intently from the far right, his stern expression conveying a sense of approval and expectation. The image, dated circa 1914-1916, underscores the crucial role of the Royal Engineers in the war effort, as they were responsible for building and maintaining infrastructure essential for military operations, including bridges, roads, and railways. The soldiers work diligently, each one performing a specific task, from sawing wood to positioning planks, to ensure the bridge's stability and durability. The scene is set against a backdrop of a rugged, natural landscape, with trees and bushes in the foreground and a vast expanse of water and sky beyond, emphasizing the vastness of the undertaking and the importance of their mission. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the heroism and resilience of the soldiers who answered the call to duty during the Great War.
