Labour Service men digging in the canal bed, 1937

At the foot of a concrete-lined channel edged by pine forest, a group of young men stands in the shallow water, most of them stripped to the waist, and shovels gravel from the bed; in a closer view they work in a row, one man in rubber boots heaving a full shovel over his shoulder while a wooden flume and a pipe run along the bank behind them.
