Scene at engineer's dump

Some horse-pulled wagons unloading supplies at an engineers dump. Judging by the curved sheets of corrugated iron, large wooden boards and timbers, it appears likely that this shipment is for construction engineers. These supplies were probably used for building dugouts and huts behind the front line.
Transporting such bulky supplies to the front would have involved several journeys. After shipping the cargo from England to France, trains would then bring the supplies closer to the front line. Following that, horse-drawn wagons would carry the supplies closer to where they were needed, then soldier working parties would take the equipment to its final destination.
