EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative vintage photograph captures the determination and resilience of the 1st Sussex Regiment Royal Engineers as they construct a bridge during World War I, circa 1916. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Edwardian and Victorian era, when the great conflict was at its peak. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, work diligently to build the bridge, using heavy timbers and ropes to secure the structure. The bridge site is situated in a rugged, wooded area, with the dense foliage and natural terrain adding to the challenge of the engineering task. The soldiers work in unison, each with a specific role to ensure the bridge is built efficiently and effectively. The photograph provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of war and the vital role the Royal Engineers played in supporting the troops on the front lines. The bridge was essential for the movement of supplies, troops, and equipment across rivers and streams, enabling the Allied forces to advance and maintain their positions. Despite the challenging conditions, the soldiers remain focused and committed to their task. Their expressions convey a sense of purpose and camaraderie, highlighting the human spirit that prevailed even in the most trying of circumstances. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served during World War I and the crucial role the Royal Engineers played in shaping the course of history.
