EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for the weary soldiers of the Border Regiment during the intense fighting at Thiepval Wood in August 1916, during the Somme campaign of World War One. Five members of the 11th (Service) Battalion, also known as the 'Lonsdales,' are seen resting in the cramped and muddy conditions of the front line trench. The soldiers are dressed in their Mk 1 steel helmets, carrying their Lee Enfield rifles, and their bayonet sheaths and canteens are scattered nearby. One soldier remains awake, keeping watch over his comrades. The scene is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of trench warfare, where soldiers had to endure long periods of restless waiting interspersed with intense bursts of violence. This photograph is one of thirteen in a collection relating to trench warfare on the Western Front during World War One, offering a glimpse into the daily lives and experiences of the soldiers who fought in this brutal conflict.
