Summary edit

Description
English: Railway engine, during World War I. A group of soldiers stand around a large railway engine. Some of them hold spades, while others are lined up next to the engine. More soldiers stand on the embankment, ready to help if need be. The mud and debris appear to be causing problems.

The conditions on the Western Front were appalling, and made moving of men, machinery and supplies very difficult, as this picture illustrates.
[Original reads: 'THE BRITISH ADVANCE IN THE WEST. Railway engine in difficulties.']
