EDITORS COMMENTS
King Haakon of Norway, accompanied by Col. J. Clive Piggott, inspects a Guard of Honour on 8th April 1942 amidst the chaos and uncertainty of World War II. This powerful image captures a moment in history when nations stood united against tyranny and oppression. The Guard, provided by the brave soldiers of the 31st/32nd Warwickshire (Birmingham) Battalions, stands tall and resolute as they pay homage to their esteemed King. Their uniforms bear witness to their unwavering dedication and commitment to protecting their homeland during these tumultuous times. As King Haakon surveys his troops, one can sense both pride and determination emanating from his regal presence. His visit serves as a symbol of solidarity between two nations fighting for freedom against a common enemy. In attendance is also Commander Norman Tiptaft, representing the city's Home Guard alongside Lord Mayor Capt. Coldstream Guards who stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their fellow countrymen in this display of strength and unity. This poignant photograph encapsulates not only the bravery displayed by those on parade but also pays tribute to all those who fought valiantly during World War II. It serves as a reminder that even in the darkest hours, leaders like King Haakon inspire hope and resilience among their people.
