EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fitters Local Protection," is a compelling image from the album compiled by Major Wilfred Herbert James Sale, MC, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters), during World War Two in North Africa in 1943. The image shows a White scout car, a military vehicle commonly used for reconnaissance and patrols, fitted with a gun at the rear. A group of men, likely fitters or mechanics, are seen lying on the ground to the left of the photograph, aiming their machine guns. Their expressions suggest a heightened sense of alertness and readiness, indicating that they are preparing for potential danger. The presence of the gun on the scout car and the men with machine guns suggests that the fitters were providing local protection for the vehicle and its occupants. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life and challenges faced by the military personnel during the North African campaign of World War Two.
