EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos of The Blitz, a powerful reminder for all visitors to Folkstone, Kent. This haunting photograph captures a notice that was put up during one of the many air raids that ravaged Britain in 1940. Taken on the 23rd of October, this image transports us back to a time when conflict and destruction were an everyday reality. The message on the notice serves as a stark warning to anyone entering Folkstone - the town is being shelled. It stands as a testament to the resilience and bravery of its inhabitants who faced relentless bombings during World War II. The forties marked an era defined by war, where communities across Britain united against adversity. Photographer Staff (W Effner) skillfully captures both the physical devastation and emotional weight carried by this simple piece of paper amidst crumbling buildings and rubble-strewn streets. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to reflect upon those dark days in history when ordinary people showed extraordinary courage in defending their homeland. As we gaze at this poignant snapshot frozen in time, let it remind us never to forget the sacrifices made during World War II. May it serve as a tribute not only to those who endured unimaginable hardships but also as a solemn reminder that peace should be cherished above all else.
