EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment during the Second World War when a Churchill Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers (AVRE) tank, equipped with a Petard mortar, was prepared for attack in France, 1944. The Churchill AVRE tank was a crucial innovation in the Allied arsenal, specifically designed to breach concrete bunkers and fortified strongholds that had proven to be formidable obstacles in the war. The Petard mortar, mounted on the Churchill tank, was a game-changer in the battlefield. Its charge, popularly known as a "Flying Dustbin," was a high-explosive, anti-tank weapon that weighed approximately 1.5 tons. The mortar was fired from the tank's turret, and the charge was ejected from the rear, allowing it to roll towards its target before detonating. The historical significance of this image lies in the pivotal role the Churchill AVRE tank played in the Allied advance during the Second World War. The tank's ability to destroy concrete fortifications enabled the Allied forces to make significant progress against the German defenses. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Allied forces in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The Petard mortar was a vital component of the Churchill AVRE tank, and its impact on the battlefield cannot be overstated. The combination of the tank's armored protection and the destructive power of the Petard mortar made it a formidable weapon in the fight against the Axis powers. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the innovation, courage, and resilience of the Allied forces during the Second World War.
