Anchor Anglia Battalion Engineers Section
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of the East Anglia Royal Engineers No. 3 Section, 2nd Field Battalion during the early years of the First World War. Circa 1914, the men are seen standing proudly in their uniforms, each holding a shovel or pickaxe, symbolizing their role as part of the Royal Engineers, the military corps responsible for the construction, maintenance, and demolition of physical infrastructure during wartime. The anchor emblem on their caps signifies their affiliation with the Corps. The 1st Great War brought about unprecedented challenges for the British Army, and the Royal Engineers were no exception. They played a crucial role in the construction of trenches, roads, bridges, and other essential infrastructure in the harsh and unforgiving conditions of the Western Front. The men in this photograph, with their determined expressions and unwavering gaze, exemplify the courage and resilience required to face the challenges of the battlefield. As the world commemorates the centenary of the First World War, this historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served during this time. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who played a vital role in shaping the course of the war.
