Summary[edit]

Description
English: Durham Light Infantry, Western Front (?), during World War I. This photograph shows the men of a battalion of the Durham Light Infantry holding their steel helmets up on their rifles. As it is undated it is not clear if this was in celebration of a particular event. It may merely have been a press photograph taken for use in local papers in the Sunderland area. This is suggested by the presence, on the back of the print, of the stamp of the Alfieri Picture Service, Fleet Street, London.

Many thousands of men, including many miners and shipyard workers, joined the Durham Light Infantry. Two battalions, the 1/7th and the 2/7th Territorial Forces, were raised in Sunderland in 1914 and it is possible that the photograph is of one of these battalions.
[Original reads: 'A Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry. Most of these men come from Sunderland.']
