EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of 40mm Bofors Light Anti-Aircraft (AA) guns on Mark II mountings, stockpiled in England prior to D-Day in 1945. The image is a poignant reminder of the massive military build-up that took place in the United Kingdom during the final stages of World War Two, in preparation for the Allied invasion of North West Europe. The 40mm Bofors gun was a crucial component of Allied air defense during the war, and its effectiveness against both aircraft and ground targets earned it a reputation as a versatile and reliable weapon. The Mark II mounting allowed for rapid traversing and elevation, enabling gunners to engage targets quickly and accurately. The presence of the ducks in the foreground of the photograph adds an unexpected element to the scene. It is unclear whether they were intentionally included in the image or if they were simply a coincidental addition. Regardless, the ducks serve as a reminder of the peaceful rural surroundings that contrasted with the intense military activity taking place just beyond the camera's frame. This photograph is part of a collection of 650 images compiled by the Commando Association, providing a unique glimpse into the events leading up to D-Day and the final stages of the war in Europe. The date of the photograph is estimated to be 1945, making it a valuable historical record of this pivotal moment in world history.
