EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to the harrowing events of August 1,1917, during the Battle of Pilckem Ridge in Passchendaele. The image portrays a group of brave stretcher bearers struggling through the treacherous mud near Boesinghe, Belgium. The First World War was notorious for its unforgiving conditions and devastating battles, and this photograph encapsulates the immense challenges faced by these heroic individuals on a daily basis. Despite being burdened with heavy stretchers and navigating through ankle-deep mud, these selfless bearers pressed forward with unwavering determination. Their presence amidst such chaos serves as a reminder of their crucial role in providing medical aid to wounded soldiers on both sides of the conflict. These courageous men risked their lives to rescue injured comrades from the battlefield, offering hope amidst despair. As we reflect upon this powerful image from 1917, it is essential to honor not only those who fought valiantly but also those who tended to their wounds and provided solace amid unimaginable circumstances. This photograph stands as a testament to human resilience in times of war – an enduring symbol that captures both the physical struggles endured by stretcher bearers and their unwavering commitment to saving lives
