EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and bravery of the men of the 2nd Battalion Gordon Highlanders during the Battle of Kleve in February 1945. The scene shows the soldiers advancing into the town, which was located near the Dutch border and the Rhine, supported by Churchill tanks of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade. The battle was part of Operation VERITABLE, a major offensive launched by 21st Army Group to break through the difficult terrain of the Reichswald forest in North West Europe. The photograph, taken on February 11, 1945, depicts the intense and chaotic nature of war, with soldiers in the foreground focused on the task at hand while explosions and smoke fill the background. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men during World War Two." "The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique and powerful insight into the events of this significant battle. The men of the 2nd Battalion Gordon Highlanders, with their distinctive tartan kilts and berets, can be seen charging forward, their faces etched with concentration and resolve. The Churchill tanks of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade provide crucial support, their powerful guns blasting a path through the German defenses. The scene is one of intense action and danger, with the outcome of the battle uncertain." "The photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of the Allied forces during World War Two, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who fought to secure victory in Europe. It is a powerful and moving image that continues to resonate with audiences today, and is a valuable addition to any collection of military history or World War Two memorabilia.
