EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the harsh realities of war transport during the First World War, as lorries make their way past a mine crater on the makeshift road to the Western Front. Dated between 1914 and 1918, the image offers a glimpse into the arduous journey that supplies and reinforcements endured to reach the front lines. The crater, a result of an exploded mine, serves as a stark reminder of the constant danger and destruction that surrounded soldiers and civilians alike during this tumultuous period. The trees, stripped of their branches and used as makeshift barriers along the road, add to the sense of ruggedness and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. The lorries, loaded with essential supplies, continue their passage round the crater, their tires kicking up clouds of dust as they press onward. This powerful image underscores the resilience and determination of those who played a crucial role in the logistical efforts of the war effort, and stands as a poignant testament to the challenges faced during the Great War.
