EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant postcard image captures the grim reality of the British transport supply line during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The First World War's largest and bloodiest single-day battle, the Somme offensive saw the Allied forces launch an attack on the German positions along the western front, resulting in over one million casualties. In this evocative scene, we see a long line of horses and wagons, laden with supplies, making their way towards the front lines. The weary animals, their coats covered in mud and sweat, plod on, their burden a testament to the relentless demands of war. The men in the background, dressed in their military uniforms, watch over the operation with determined expressions, aware of the critical role they play in ensuring the survival of their comrades. This poignant postcard was produced in aid of The National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers (NFDDSS), an organisation established to support veterans of the war. The card serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by both the animals and the men during the conflict, and the ongoing need for charitable support to help those affected by the war. The Battle of the Somme marked a turning point in the war, with the Allied forces failing to achieve their objectives, but the determination and resilience of the soldiers and the support of organisations like the NFDDSS remained unwavering. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the daily struggles of the British transport supply line during the Battle of the Somme and the vital role it played in the war effort.
