EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative vintage lantern slide depicts a group of 1st Sussex Regiment Royal Engineers constructing a pontoon bridge during World War I, circa 1916. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms and armed with shovels and pickaxes, work diligently to lay the bridge's foundation in a muddy trench. The bridge's components, including planks and ropes, are carefully arranged nearby, ready to be assembled. In the background, the desolate landscape of the battlefield is visible, with the remnants of destroyed trees and buildings serving as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of war. The 1st Sussex Regiment Royal Engineers were an essential part of the British military effort during WWI, responsible for building and maintaining infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and fortifications. Their vital role in enabling the movement of troops and supplies across difficult terrain was crucial to the success of military campaigns. This poignant image captures the determination and resilience of these soldiers as they worked to support their comrades in the face of adversity.
