The engineers are always 'up the line'!

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The engineers are always 'up the line'!

Right away guard ! But the guard of this front line supply train is on the look out for trouble ahead, instead of in his van at the rear of the train. Running light railways at the battle front like this is but one of a hundred dangerous tasks of the Royal Engineers. Great bravery in mine-lifting, bridge building and many another vital war job has earned them undying glory.
