EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as a Royal Engineers working party makes its way through the ruins of Arras, northern France, in March 1918. The party, composed of determined soldiers, is traveling in trucks along a makeshift light railway, their faces etched with focus and concentration as they pass under the archway of a ruined building. The brickwork of the archway, with its intricate pattern of stripes and arches, stands in stark contrast to the destruction surrounding it. The trucks, adorned with the distinctive Royal Engineers insignia, carry the essential supplies and equipment needed to support the ongoing military efforts. The scene is one of both industry and resilience, as the engineers adapt to the challenging conditions of the battlefield to keep operations running smoothly. The image offers a poignant reminder of the ingenuity and perseverance required during times of conflict.
