EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh winter of the Western Front during World War I, soldiers and their faithful horses trudge through the deep, powdery snow. The year was between 1914 and 1918, a time when the bitter cold added an extra layer of challenge to the already difficult journey for the troops. In this poignant image, a group of soldiers, bundled up against the elements, push a lorry through the snowdrifts. The horses, their breath visible in the frosty air, pull a cart filled with supplies, providing essential support for the advancing army. The struggle is evident on their faces, as they push and pull, making slow progress against the resistance of the snow. The road ahead is long and arduous, but the soldiers press on, determined to reach their destination. Lorries and other vehicles, some with chains attached to their wheels for added traction, follow closely behind. The scene is one of perseverance and resilience, as the soldiers and their animals adapt to the harsh conditions of the battlefield. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the First World War, a time when the elements themselves seemed to be an enemy in the fight for survival. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and animals who served on the Western Front during this pivotal period in history.
