EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of a V2 rocket attack on Middlesex Street, Aldgate, London during the Second World War. The image showcases the sheer destruction caused by this merciless act of war. In the foreground, we see a clothes warehouse belonging to Norwegian Clothing Ltd that has been directly hit, its walls reduced to rubble and debris scattered across the street. The impact of this attack is further evident as some stores caught fire, adding an element of chaos and danger to an already grim scene. The date etched in history as 10th November 1944 serves as a reminder of the relentless nature of conflict during those dark times. Amidst this desolation, brave firefighters and emergency services can be seen working tirelessly to rescue survivors and extinguish flames. Their heroic efforts symbolize resilience in the face of adversity. This photograph not only documents the physical damage inflicted upon buildings but also encapsulates the emotional toll experienced by those living through such turbulent times. It stands as a testament to both human strength and vulnerability during one of history's most destructive conflicts. George Greenwell's poignant capture transports us back to an era when cities were ravaged by bombings; it reminds us never to forget the sacrifices made on our home front during World War Two.
