EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to October 1944, during the Second World War. It showcases a flame throwing Bren Gun carrier known as a "Wasp" in action at a tactical training school in India. The military personnel seen here are senior officers who receive special instruction on Japanese methods of warfare, utilizing captured enemy uniforms and equipment. The image captures the intensity of these training exercises, with live ammunition being used to demonstrate enemy tactics under actual battle conditions. In this particular scenario, the soldiers simulate burning up enemy positions at a river crossing during an attack on a Japanese village. The scene is filled with both danger and determination as these brave men prepare themselves for the challenges that lie ahead. The flames from the Wasp engulfing their surroundings symbolize their unwavering commitment to defending their nation against any threat. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in World War II but also highlights the ingenuity and adaptability displayed by armed forces during times of conflict. It stands as a testament to the courage and resourcefulness exhibited by Indian soldiers within the Commonwealth forces. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this image allows us to reflect upon an era defined by its global turmoil while honoring those who served selflessly for our freedom.
