EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history - the construction of a British army pontoon bridge across the mighty Tigris River in Baghdad. Taken shortly after the city's fall on March 17th, 1917, this image showcases both the architectural prowess and strategic importance of such an engineering feat. Intricately designed and meticulously executed, this pontoon bridge stands as a testament to human ingenuity amidst the chaos of war. Its sturdy structure spans across the vast expanse of water, connecting two sides that were once divided by conflict. The bridge symbolizes unity and resilience in the face of adversity. Mesmerizingly framed against a backdrop of ancient Mesopotamian architecture, this photograph transports us back to World War One era Iraq. It serves as a poignant reminder of the battles fought and campaigns waged during those tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of the physical barriers overcome but also of the countless lives impacted by war and conflict. This image is more than just an architectural marvel; it encapsulates stories untold and sacrifices made for freedom. Preserved within Memory Lane Prints' collection from Official Daily Mirror Archive, this print invites us to reflect on our shared past while honoring those who have served their countries with unwavering bravery.
