EDITORS COMMENTS
At a Coastal Artillery school in the Western Command, dedicated men tirelessly train day and night to master the art of defending our shores. This print captures a pivotal moment during their rigorous practice sessions. In order to overcome the challenges of firing at night, these brave gunners carry out shoots under cover of darkness. The image showcases a powerful six-inch coastal defence gun in action during one such nocturnal exercise. The intensity is palpable as flashes of light illuminate the surrounding darkness, highlighting the determination etched on each soldier's face. Their unwavering commitment to honing their skills serves as a testament to their readiness for any potential threat that may arise. Taken in June 1942 amidst the turmoil of World War II, this photograph encapsulates an era defined by sacrifice and resilience on the home front. It symbolizes not only the soldiers' dedication but also represents a nation united against adversity. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot from history offers us a glimpse into an essential aspect of military training during that tumultuous time. As we reflect upon this image today, let it serve as a reminder of those who selflessly defended our freedom and protected our shores with unwavering courage.
