EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment one of our tanks enters the A Squadron leaguer at THAON during the latter stages of World War Two in Europe, in 1944. The image shows a tank, expertly maneuvered by its crew, driving into position, its exterior coated in camouflage to blend in with the surroundings. The scene is taken from Maj Wilfred Herbert James Sale's personal photograph album, which contains a total of 210 images. Maj Sale was a distinguished officer serving with the 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) during this period. The album documents their experiences in England and France, providing a unique insight into the daily life and operations of the regiment. The photographs in the album, like this one, offer a glimpse into the realities of war, showcasing the determination and skill of the soldiers as they carried out their duties. This image, in particular, underscores the importance of effective camouflage and the strategic importance of establishing a secure leaguer, or base camp, for the squadron.
