EDITORS COMMENTS
Ware Butterfly Bombs - A Passing Despatch Rider: This evocative photograph captures the moment of surprise and caution on the face of a British despatch rider as he reads an unusual road sign on Dower Street, Flatbridge, near the Normandy beachhead during the summer of 1944. The sign, marked with the enigmatic symbol of a "butterfly," served as a warning for the presence of butterfly bombs, also known as "Fu-Go" or "Fireball" balloons, launched by the Japanese military during World War Two. These incendiary devices, carried by the wind across the Atlantic Ocean, posed a significant threat to Allied forces in Europe, causing numerous fires and damage. The photograph, issued in April 1944, is part of a collection of 33 contact prints of British official photographs, primarily documenting D-Day and the Battle of Normandy in 1944. Associated with D-Day and Operation Overlord, as well as the Normandy Breakout, this image is a poignant reminder of the unconventional challenges faced by Allied forces during the European theater of the war.
