EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during World War II, depicting soldiers peering out over the cliff edge in Calais. The image serves as the front cover illustration for A.D. Divine's children's story book, "Tunnel From Calais," transporting readers back to 1942 when tensions ran high and bravery was paramount.
The soldiers' expressions are a mix of determination and uncertainty, embodying the courage required to face the challenges of wartime. As they stand on the precipice overlooking the vast expanse before them, one can only imagine what thoughts raced through their minds - thoughts of home, loved ones left behind, and the duty that called them to this perilous moment.
The stark contrast between the soldiers' silhouettes against the backdrop of an ominous sky adds depth and drama to this powerful image. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience in times of conflict.
As we reflect on this piece of history captured through lens and ink, we are reminded of those who fought valiantly for freedom and peace. Their stories live on through images like these, inspiring future generations to never forget the sacrifices made during World War II.
