| Blown up railway bridge at Chaulnes |
|
National Library of Scotland
This ruined railway bridge is close to the village of Chaulnes, in the area of the Somme. The extensive damage seen here was most likely caused by shellfire. Although merely speculation, it is possible this bridge was blown up during a retreat. It was fairly common for those retreating to destroy vital transport links, such as roads, railways and bridges, in an attempt to slow down the advancing army.
Countless towns and villages along the Western Front suffered a similar fate to Chaulnes. Some of the images that form part of this collection tragically show French villagers returning home after the fighting, only to discover their homes in ruins. Many people tried searching through the rubble in a desperate attempt to retrieve a few personal belongings.

| Building a hut on newly captured ground |
|
National Library of Scotland
A team of uniformed men are building what looks to be a Nissen hut. Sections of corrugated iron, curved to form a roof, are being secured to a raised frame. The hut is in the early stages of construction and has been positioned in a dip, behind a high mound of earth. This would have offered protection from enemy fire.
As soon as an army entered a newly captured area of the Front, a number of urgent tasks had to be performed. Of utmost importance was the creation of secure transport and communication links between the newly captured area and headquarters. This often meant the building of new roads, bridges and railways through the area, and the laying of telegraph wire and telephone cable.

| Linking the tunnels north - south |
|
Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums
The Tyne Pedestrian and Cyclist Tunnels were opened to the people of Tyneside on 24th July 1951.
These two purpose-built tunnels were designed to connect Howdon in North Tyneside with Jarrow in South Tyneside under the river Tyne.
At a cost of £833,000, these 900 ft (274.5 m) long tunnels, which run parallel to each other, have been connecting the communities on the North and South banks of the river Tyne for the past 60 years.
