EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment from the Autumn Campaign of 1872 in Wiltshire, England, as soldiers of the Army Service Corps fill their canteens from a water cart on Bottle Bush Down. The Army Service Corps, an essential branch of the British military, was responsible for the supply and transport of water, fords, and other necessities to the troops in the field. In this scene, the soldiers diligently attend to their task, each man taking a turn to fill his canteen from the cart. The water cart, drawn by a team of horses, is a vital source of hydration for the troops, especially during long marches and encampments. The autumnal landscape in the background adds a sense of tranquility and order to the scene, with the trees displaying their vibrant colors against the blue sky. The camaraderie and unity among the soldiers are palpable, as they work together to ensure their survival in the campaign. This photograph, taken in the 1870s, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British military during this era, highlighting the importance of logistics and teamwork in the execution of military campaigns.
