EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during World War I, specifically the Battle of Passchendaele on July 28, 1917. British soldiers are seen diligently laying a light railway line near Boesinghe, Belgium. The image showcases the dedication and hard work of these brave men as they construct vital infrastructure amidst the chaos of war.
The soldiers are dressed in their military uniforms, helmets firmly in place as they use spades to dig and build the railway tracks. The determination on their faces is evident, highlighting their commitment to completing this crucial task despite the challenging circumstances surrounding them.
The photograph exudes a sense of camaraderie among the group of soldiers working together towards a common goal. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served during World War I and sheds light on the importance of transportation in times of conflict.
