Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Soldiers in kilts, possibly from a Highland Regiment, working in a wooded area. They appear to be wearing a protective covering or 'apron' over their kilts. The two men in the foreground are carrying a long and narrow tree between them. Some of the men in the background are using axes to fell more trees. The ground is covered with branches and leaves.

Many trees were cut down during the war to provide the vast quantities of timber needed for building trenches, bridges, roads and railways. Sawmills were set up behind the Front and whole teams of men, the Canadian Forestry Corps most famously perhaps, worked steadily to meet the huge demand.
[Original reads: 'Wood is used for making up the roads on the Somme. Scene in a wood.']
