EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 15th of January 1940 at Normanton Barracks in Derby, England, new recruits are seen swiftly finding their rhythm and confidently marching along the Parade ground. The image captures a moment of discipline and determination as these young men immerse themselves in military training during World War Two. The soldiers' synchronized strides showcase their commitment to honing their skills for the defense of their country. With heads held high and chests puffed out, they exude an air of pride and unity. This snapshot from the past serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who answered the call to serve. Derbyshire's East Midlands region witnessed its fair share of wartime activity during this tumultuous period in history. As these fresh-faced recruits engage in "square bashing" a term used to describe marching drills, they embrace both physical exertion and mental fortitude necessary for combat readiness. This powerful photograph not only encapsulates a specific moment in time but also symbolizes the resilience and bravery displayed by all those who fought for peace during World War Two. It is through images like these that we can pay homage to those who served while reflecting upon our shared history.
