EDITORS COMMENTS
Royal Marines, clad in their distinguished naval uniforms, selflessly distribute tins of Bully Beef to fellow soldiers at the earthwork defences. This poignant photograph captures a moment in history during World War One, circa 1st October 1914. The location is the last line of defence on the Lierre Road, a crucial stronghold for protecting Antwerp merely two miles away. As conflict rages on and tensions rise, these brave men stand as pillars of strength and resilience. In this image, they embody camaraderie and compassion as they ensure their comrades are nourished amidst the chaos of war. The tin cans containing corned beef - known affectionately as 'Bully Beef' - symbolize sustenance and survival in times of adversity. The scene showcases not only the soldiers but also bomb-proof shelters and trench fortifications that serve as vital protection against enemy attacks. A wheelbarrow nearby stands ready to transport supplies across treacherous terrain. Published by Daily Mirror on October 12th, 1914, this print transports us back to an era defined by sacrifice and valor. It serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by those who fought bravely for our freedom. Tom Grant's evocative caption encapsulates the essence of this historical moment while honoring those who served with unwavering dedication. Let us remember their sacrifices and honor their memory.
