EDITORS COMMENTS
Private W. Cheetham of the 1st Battalion Shropshire Light Infantry is depicted in this powerful image as he bravely brings up fresh supplies of bombs to the front line during the intense battle at Hooge on August 9, 1915. The crater in the background serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of the relentless artillery fire that the soldiers endured. Amidst the chaos and danger, Private Cheetham remains focused, determined to support his comrades in their fight against the enemy. His courage and selflessness did not go unnoticed, as he was later awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) for his most gallant conduct in the face of the enemy. This evocative photograph, taken by E. Smythe for 'Deeds That Thrill The Empire,' offers a poignant glimpse into the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who served on the Western Front during World War I. The 1st Battalion Shropshire Light Infantry was part of the 11th (Northern) Division and saw action in various battles throughout the war. This historical image is a testament to the topographical and military significance of the Hooge crater and the sacrifices made by Private Cheetham and his comrades during the Great War.
