Claude Corps Ncos Nickname Sergeant Tank Rowberry
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the essence of the First World War experience, as seen through the eyes of the NCOs of the Tank Corps, with Sergeant E. Claude Rowberry (92100) proudly standing at the center. The image, part of the extensive WW1 Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a group of weary yet determined men, their faces etched with the marks of battle and the harsh conditions of the trenches. Their uniforms, bearing the distinctive insignia of the Tank Corps, are worn and faded, a testament to the long months spent in the field. Sergeant Rowberry, a decorated soldier with the Military Medal (MM) to his name, is seen here surrounded by his comrades, all of whom have earned the nickname 'Scruffynecks.' The nickname, a term of endearment, speaks to the camaraderie and shared experiences that bonded these men together in the face of adversity. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the Tank Corps, a vital component of the British military during the war. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men, who fought valiantly to protect their country and shape the course of history. As we reflect on the centenary of the First World War, this photograph stands as a powerful reminder of the human stories that lie behind the statistics and the headlines, and the enduring bonds of brotherhood forged in the crucible of war.
