The men do not appear to be from The Royal Engineers or the East Yorkshire Regiment, due to their badges bing different. Though this could be wrong and that they indeed are linked somehow.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the Hull and East Yorkshire area during World War Two. The image showcases a group of soldiers diligently working with a range finder, an essential tool used to calculate distances of distant objects. Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that these soldiers do not belong to The Royal Engineers or the East Yorkshire Regiment, as their badges differ. However, there remains a possibility that they may be connected in some way. During the war, rangefinders played a crucial role in determining the proximity of enemy forces. By accurately measuring distances, these brave men could assess potential threats and plan their defensive strategies accordingly. The picture is dated circa 1st February 1941 and captures both the scientific aspect and military significance of range finders during this tumultuous period in history. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness displayed by those who fought on the home front. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into an era defined by sacrifice and resilience. As we observe these soldiers engrossed in their work, we can't help but feel admiration for their dedication to protecting our nation amidst such challenging circumstances. Mirrorpix has once again preserved an invaluable piece of our collective memory through this striking image - one that encapsulates both the spirit of wartime innovation and the unwavering determination exhibited by those who served during World War Two.
