EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures members of the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps (AMPC) in France, diligently erecting Nissen Huts in preparation for the arrival of the main body of the British Army during World War II. The AMPC, a vital component of the British military, was composed primarily of volunteers who provided essential logistical support for the military effort. Many of these men had previously served in the military during World War I, and now found themselves once again called to duty as their sons and sons-in-law fought on the front lines. The Nissen Huts, named after their inventor, Sir James Nissen, were prefabricated, corrugated iron structures that provided temporary shelter for soldiers. Their expedient construction was crucial in the chaotic and rapidly changing conditions of war. The AMPC's work in erecting these huts was a testament to their resourcefulness and dedication to the war effort. The date of this photograph is estimated to be circa 1944, with October 18 being a possible date based on available historical records. The image offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the Auxiliary Military Pioneer Corps during the Second World War, as they labored to support the military effort and provide essential services in the face of adversity.
