EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as Soldiers of the Royal Engineers meticulously construct a pontoon bridge near Boesinghe, Flanders. The bridge, a vital link for the Allied forces, spans the width of a muddy river, its temporary nature underscored by the rough terrain and makeshift carts used to transport the pontoons into place. The scene is one of intense focus and teamwork, with soldiers working in unison to secure each pontoon, ensuring a stable foundation for the bridge. Horses, their coats muddied from the water, stand patiently nearby, ready to assist in the next stage of the operation. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and helmets, are a testament to the great sacrifices made by the men and women of the armed forces during this global conflict. The photograph, taken between 1914 and 1918, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare and the ingenuity and determination required to overcome the challenges of the battlefield. The bridge, a symbol of progress and connection, stands as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of those who served during the Great War. This image, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Royal Engineers and the Belgian Army during the First World War.
