EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and historic photo print, we are transported back to the intense battlegrounds of World War One. The image captures a significant moment as soldiers from the South Stafford and North Stafford Regiments, belonging to the esteemed 137 Brigade of the 46th Division, gather on Riqueval Bridge. Standing before them is Brigadier General J C Campbell, ready to address his brave troops. The date is September 29th, 1918 - a crucial day in history that witnessed these courageous men crossing the formidable St Quentin Canal. What makes this feat even more remarkable is that they accomplished it while wearing lifebelts! This canal was part of the Hindenburg Line, a heavily fortified German defense system. With unwavering determination and sheer bravery, these soldiers successfully captured two bridges during their advance across the canal. These vital crossings allowed for heavy artillery guns to be transported across and played a pivotal role in turning the tide of war. This photograph by David McClellan serves as an enduring testament to those who fought valiantly during World War One. It encapsulates not only their strength but also their unyielding spirit in facing unimaginable challenges head-on. As we gaze upon this image today, let us remember and honor all those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
