EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I, as a line of horse-drawn transport wagons are parked along the Arras road near St. Pol in February 1917. The snow-covered landscape is a stark contrast to the muddy trenches and battlefields that were the norm for British troops during this period. The horses, bundled up against the cold, stand patiently next to their wagons, their breath visible in the frigid air. The scene is illuminated by the soft glow of a lantern, casting an eerie yet comforting light over the soldiers as they tend to their animals. The soldiers, dressed in heavy coats and woolen hats, huddle around the fire, their faces etched with exhaustion and determination. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by the men and horses during the war, and the vital role they played in transporting supplies and equipment to the front lines. This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the British Army during World War I. The vintage lantern slide captures the raw emotion and grit of the soldiers, and the stark beauty of the winter landscape. The photograph is not only a historical document but also a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and animals during the war.
