EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and determination of the British military during the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. The image shows a line of Sherman DD (Duplex Drive) tanks, each mounted with a bow ramp, preparing to wade ashore through the surf and undertake the critical mission of providing vital support to the infantry as they advanced inland from the beaches. The tanks, part of the 79th Armoured Division, were specially designed for amphibious assaults, and their arrival on the shores of Normandy marked a turning point in the Allied invasion of Europe during World War II. The photograph, taken in the summer of 1944, offers a glimpse into the personal album of Mary Evans, a witness to history, providing a poignant reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who took part in this pivotal moment in world history. The image, with its moody skies and dramatic waves, is a testament to the determination and resilience of the Allied forces in the face of adversity, and a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the 1940s to secure a peaceful future for generations to come.
