EDITORS COMMENTS
250 Word. This evocative photograph captures the moment 2nd Corporal D. McArthur (176th Company, Royal Engineers) and his Officer return from a dangerous reconnaissance mission around the Givenchy Ridge on October 13th, 1915. The pair are seen carefully navigating their way through a field littered with mine craters, their expressions displaying a mix of relief and determination. During this mission, 2nd Corporal McArthur displayed exceptional bravery and devotion to duty. When his Officer was trapped by a mine explosion, McArthur bravely rushed to his aid, risking his own life to pull him to safety. His quick thinking and unwavering courage saved his superior officer's life and earned him the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM). This photograph is a poignant reminder of the heroic actions of the soldiers who served during the First World War. The 176th Company of the Royal Engineers played a crucial role in the military topography of the regiments, and their bravery and expertise were essential to the success of the Allied forces. Stephen T. Dadd, the photographer, captured this moment in history, preserving it for future generations. This image, published on Page 466 of "Deeds That Thrill The Empire," is a testament to the courage and selflessness of the soldiers who served during the Great War. McArthur's story is just one of many that highlight the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought for their country during this pivotal period in history. McArthur, who flourished between 1879 and 1920, is an enduring symbol of the heroism and determination that characterized the First World War. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and the importance of recognizing the extraordinary deeds of ordinary people.
