EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print from Memory Lane Prints, we see John Ferry bravely holding the bullet that forever changed his life. Dated October 16th, 1939, it captures a significant moment in history when Mr. Ferry became the first civilian casualty of World War Two. The image transports us back to that fateful day when warships sought shelter under the iconic Forth Bridge. As a dedicated worker helping build an army camp at Silverknowes, Mr. Ferry found himself caught in the crossfire during an air attack. With a smile on his face and determination in his eyes, he reflects upon the painful memory of feeling a sudden blow on the back of his right leg—like being struck by a hammer. The bullet lodged inside him was eventually removed after intense medical intervention. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of Mr. Ferry's personal sacrifice but also represents countless untold stories of civilians who endured unimaginable hardships during wartime. It is through their resilience and courage that we are reminded of our shared humanity amidst times of conflict. As we hold this image close to our hearts, let us honor those like John Ferry who bore witness to history's darkest moments yet emerged with strength and hope for a brighter future.
