springs and pulleys, dummy " enemy" figures are made to spring out as
targets for sharp-shooting.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense training at the South Eastern Command Battle School during World War II. As students undergo their two-week intensive training, they are faced with a simulated attack from low-flying aircraft while charges explode on the ground, creating the effect of dive bombing. The soldiers must remain composed and respond with rifle fire to defend themselves. In addition to this challenging exercise, the men are also tasked with clearing the notorious "Haunted House". This building is ingeniously rigged with springs and pulleys that cause dummy enemy figures to spring out as targets for sharp-shooting practice. It is a test of both skill and nerves as these brave soldiers navigate through this eerie environment. The photograph showcases the determination and resilience of these British army troops as they face adversity head-on. Their synchronized response to the aerial attack demonstrates their commitment to defending their country during this critical period in history. Taken in April 1942, amidst the chaos of World War II, this image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in armed forces around the world. It stands as a testament to their bravery and dedication in preparing themselves for battle against an unseen enemy.
