In this print captured by Harry Prosser, we are transported back to the year 1980 at The Royal Engineers Diving Establishment in Marchwood near Southampton. The image showcases a group of brave soldiers known as the Flipper Brigade, eagerly reporting for their rigorous training. As they march past a prominently placed sign intended to caution drivers, one can sense the anticipation and determination radiating from these dedicated individuals. The photograph offers us a glimpse into the world of armed forces diving during the 20th century. These fearless frogmen, belonging to the esteemed Royal Engineers division, were part of an elite military unit specializing in underwater operations. Their unwavering commitment and expertise made them invaluable assets within their ranks. Prosser's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the physical prowess of these sappers but also their unwavering camaraderie and unity as they embark on yet another demanding day of training. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who serve our nation. This remarkable print serves as both a tribute to these unsung heroes and a testament to Prosser's ability to capture poignant moments frozen in time. It is an evocative reminder that behind every soldier lies countless hours of preparation and dedication necessary for safeguarding our freedom and security.
