BUILD NETWORK OF RAILWAYS IN FLANDERS

As the great British drive against the Hun forces in Flanders steadily moves forward the British army is covering the regained land with a network of railways. The allied forces advancing farther and farther into the territory formerly held by the Teutons have found railroads essential to the further prosecution of their operations, for the scope of the drive Is constantly widening. This photograph shows a railway section gang made up of British Tommies laying a light railway behind the British lines in Flanders.—British Official Photograph.
