Not much is known about this photo. It is thought to show two members of the South African Native Labour Corps greasing their feet against the cold in late 1917/early 1918. #sanlc #southafricannativelabourcorps #firstworldwar #wwi

The South African Native Labour Corps was formed in 1916 and disbanded at the beginning of 1918. This photo by John Warwick Brooke (1886-1929) shows some of the Corps at their camp in 1917. #sanlc #southafricannativelabourcorps #firstworldwar #wwi #iwm #johnwarwickbrooke
