EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures a pivotal moment in history during World War I. The image shows sappers and miners of the Royal Engineers diligently driving a tunnel under Hill 60 at Ypres, Belgium. This strategic location on the Western Front was obliterated by a mine fired by the British in April 1915. The intensity of the scene is palpable as these brave men dig deep underground, risking their lives to gain an advantage in the war. The sheer determination and skill required for such dangerous work is evident in every detail of this photograph. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back in time to witness one of the many significant events that shaped the course of WWI. The courage and sacrifice displayed by these miners and engineers serve as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those who fought on the front lines. Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this momentous occasion, allowing us to reflect on the impact of war and honor those who played a vital role in shaping our shared history. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and bravery exhibited during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
