The title points to the British troops who took Tilloy, a village northeast of Arras in northern France, which British forces captured in April 1917 during the Battle of Arras. The record gives no date and says the title comes from unverified Bain News Service data, so the attribution should be read with that caveat. The Bain News Service was a press photo agency that supplied American newspapers with wartime pictures, and its glass negatives like this one, usually 5 by 7 inches or smaller, are part of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress.
