EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the initial stages of the Allied invasion of Europe during World War Two, as seen through the lens of Major Wilfred Herbert James Sale, MC, of the 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters). The image shows a beach littered with submerged invasion craft and a tank, its treads churning up the sand and water as it advances. The scene is a testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers who waded ashore that day, facing an uncertain fate as they began the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation. Compiled in an album containing 210 photographs, this image is just one of many that Major Sale documented during his time in England and France between 1944 and 1945. The photograph album offers a unique and personal perspective on the events of that time, providing a valuable historical record of the war in North West Europe. The image is particularly significant due to the presence of the submerged vehicles, which underscores the chaos and unpredictability of the invasion. The soldiers had to navigate treacherous waters, often under heavy fire, to reach the shore and begin their assault. Despite the challenges, they pressed on, driven by their commitment to the cause of freedom and their determination to bring an end to the war. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during World War Two, and the courage and resilience they displayed in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the history of this pivotal moment in world history.
