EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured on the 8th of December 1962, we witness a heartwarming scene unfold at Cardiff Roose Airport. After enduring an unexpected and lengthy delay due to fog in Hanover, the first group of South Wales Borderers finally touched down on their homeland soil. These brave soldiers had just completed a three-year tour of duty in Minden. As they descended from their aircraft onto the tarmac, an overwhelming sense of relief and excitement radiated from these servicemen. The weariness caused by their arduous journey was replaced with sheer joy as they were greeted by a large gathering of eagerly awaiting relatives. The image captures the emotions running high among both soldiers and loved ones alike. Smiles stretch across faces as hugs are exchanged, long-awaited reunions taking place after years apart. It is evident that this moment marks not only the end of a challenging deployment but also signifies the strength and resilience displayed by these courageous men throughout their service. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our military personnel during times of conflict. It encapsulates that indescribable feeling when one returns home after being away for so long – truly embodying the sentiment "home sweet home".
