EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the HMS Bulwark, a formidable landing platform dock, after completing an overnight journey from Beirut to Limassol Port in Cyprus. The ship's mission was part of Operation Highbrow, aimed at assisting over 1000 British passport holders and individuals with dual nationality to safely depart conflict-ridden Lebanon. This operation became necessary due to escalating tensions between Israel and elements of the Hezbollah group based in Southern Lebanon. As Israel responded forcefully to rocket attacks on its towns by Hezbollah, unfortunate civilian casualties occurred in Lebanese towns. In light of this volatile situation, European governments including Britain stepped forward to offer their citizens support in evacuating the country. The image showcases the HMS Bulwark as a symbol of hope and rescue amidst turmoil. Its presence signifies the commitment of armed forces personnel towards ensuring the safety and well-being of those affected by conflicts around the world. Photographed by LA (Phot) Dave Griffiths from Armed Forces, this powerful snapshot serves as a reminder that even during times of crisis, nations come together to provide aid and assistance when it is needed most.
