EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, three soldiers of a Pioneer Battalion are seen using a daylight lamp for signalling at the side of a railway track near Feuchy, Arras, northern France, during the First World War. Dressed in their woolen uniforms and equipped with their rifles, the soldiers have set up the lamp on a tripod, its bright light illuminating the railway track and the surrounding area. The railway, with its sleepers and rails, stretches into the distance, a testament to the strategic importance of the railway system during the war. The soldiers are likely sending a vital message to their comrades or commanders, their focused expressions and serious demeanor reflecting the gravity of their task. The scene is reminiscent of the many battles and hardships endured by the soldiers during the First World War, a time when effective communication was crucial for the success of military operations. The use of daylight lamps for signalling was an essential part of the army's communications strategy, allowing messages to be sent during the day and in good weather conditions. This powerful image captures the determination and resilience of the soldiers, their unwavering commitment to their duty, and the harsh realities of war. Date: May 1917.
