EDITORS COMMENTS
Stealth and Strength: A Glimpse into Operation Goodwood". In this photo print, we are transported back to the intense days of World War Two, specifically to the Normandy invasion on 18 July 1944. The image showcases a camouflaged Sherman Firefly tank from the renowned 7th Armoured Division as it maneuvers its way towards the assembly area during Operation Goodwood. The tank's clever camouflage blends seamlessly with its surroundings, making it almost invisible amidst the rugged terrain. This strategic choice not only protected our brave soldiers but also allowed them to surprise their enemies with swift and powerful attacks. As we observe this scene closely, another remarkable detail emerges - a Bailey bridge gracefully spanning over the River Orne in London Bridge. This temporary structure served as a vital lifeline for troops and supplies during times of conflict. Its presence symbolizes resilience and determination in overcoming obstacles faced by our military forces. This evocative photograph captures both the tension and strength that defined World War Two. It serves as a poignant reminder of those who fought valiantly for freedom against tyranny. Let us honor their sacrifice and remember their bravery as we delve into history through images like these – forever etched in memory prints from Official's collection at Memory Lane Prints.
