EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative stained glass design by Ellis Martin, titled "The Field Survey Battalion," pays tribute to the crucial role played by the Royal Engineers during the First World War. Depicting three soldiers diligently working in a trench, this poignant scene encapsulates the grit and determination of the men who braved the harsh conditions of the Western Front to carry out essential surveying and mapping tasks. Dating back to 1921, this design reflects the post-war period, a time when the nation was coming to terms with the devastating impact of the Great War. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms complete with helmets and sandbags, are engrossed in their work, using a theodolite for observation and measurement. Their focus and unwavering commitment to their duties are palpable, a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the Royal Engineers. The Field Survey Battalion played a vital role in the war effort, providing accurate maps and information to the military commanders. Their work was essential for planning and executing successful offensives, as well as for the safe passage of troops and supplies. This design serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these unsung heroes of the First World War. The intricate details of the stained glass window, with its rich colors and textures, bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the trenches of Ypres and the somber reality of the 1920s. The use of steel and glass in the design adds an additional layer of meaning, symbolizing the strength and durability of the soldiers and their unwavering commitment to their duty.
