EDITORS COMMENTS
Members of the Reading Home Guard bravely conquer obstacles on the blitz course, showcasing their unwavering determination and commitment to defending their homeland. This print captures a moment frozen in time on the 15th of June, 1942, during World War II. As they leap over ditches with agility and precision, these soldiers demonstrate their readiness for any potential attack that may come their way. The formidable assault course pushes them to their limits, testing both physical strength and mental resilience. Set against the backdrop of Berkshire's picturesque landscape in England's south-east region, this image symbolizes the indomitable spirit of those who served during wartime. Armed with rifles at hand, these brave men embody courage as they sprint through the course with focused determination.

This poignant photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary individuals turned defenders; it encapsulates an era when unity prevailed amidst chaos and uncertainty.
