EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot from June 3rd, 1945, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history. A group of 34 young army cadets, most of them around the age of seventeen, embarked on an unforgettable journey to Wellington Barracks near Buckingham Palace. Their purpose? To witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of The Coldstream Guards. Under the watchful guidance of Sergeant Jones, these brave youngsters absorbed every instruction with unwavering determination. As they stood outside one of London's most iconic landmarks - Buckingham Palace - their hearts swelled with pride and anticipation. The photograph captures a poignant scene as the cadets bid farewell to this regal setting. With heads held high and chests puffed out, they march resolutely away from Buckingham Palace; their youthful faces etched with a mix of excitement and reverence for what they have just witnessed.

It reminds us that even amidst conflict and uncertainty, there were moments when ordinary individuals could catch glimpses of extraordinary bravery.
