EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as Portuguese troops huddle in the muddy trenches near Neuve Chapelle in northern France. The date is June 1917, and the scene is one of grim determination as the soldiers prepare for the next advance against the German lines. The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps played a significant role in the Western Front, with over 70,000 men serving between 1916 and 1918. This image offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare, as the men endure the mud, rain, and constant threat of enemy fire. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the international nature of the Great War, with troops from Portugal and other nations united in their efforts to bring an end to the conflict. Despite the challenges they faced, these soldiers remained steadfast in their commitment to their country and their allies, making this image a powerful testament to their courage and resilience.
