EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - the daring combined operation that took place on the night of February 27th and 28th, 1942. In an extraordinary display of joint forces, the Royal Navy, Army, and Royal Air Force united their strengths to attack and destroy a crucial German radio location post at Bruneval on the North Coast of France. The image showcases one of the key elements used in this audacious raid - landing craft. These vessels were instrumental in transporting troops and equipment to their destination swiftly and efficiently. As we gaze upon this picture, we can almost feel the tension that must have filled these boats as they returned to port after completing their vital mission. The success of this operation relied heavily on strategic coordination between different branches of the military. Parachute troops from an airborne division were dropped by RAF bombers while receiving support from infantry during their task. The bravery exhibited by all involved is truly commendable. Notably, not only did our courageous attackers achieve their objective but they also managed to bring back German prisoners captured during the raid safely to Britain with assistance from the Royal Navy. This remarkable photograph serves as a powerful reminder of both teamwork's strength and sacrifice made during World War II. It immortalizes a moment when brave men came together across services boundaries for a common cause - freedom.
