EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the bravery and expertise of British Army Captain Chris Goddard and Cpl Gary Fisher as they inspect a Second World War German bomb. The image transports us back to London on a Tuesday in 1987, where construction workers stumbled upon this historic relic near Tower Bridge. As police emptied nearby streets and evacuated homes for safety, these fearless Army bomb disposal men embarked on a daunting mission that would last over 30 hours. The sheer magnitude of the 2200-pound (1000 kg) device serves as a chilling reminder of the devastating air raids during the Blitz in 1940-41. This photograph encapsulates not only their dedication to protecting their fellow citizens but also pays homage to Britain's unwavering resilience during one of its darkest periods. Rendered in monochrome, every detail is accentuated, emphasizing the gravity of their task. Their expressions reveal both focus and determination as they carefully navigate through history's remnants. It is an extraordinary sight that showcases the courage required to confront such dangerous remnants from war. This powerful image captures an essential chapter in our nation's defense against unexploded bombs from World War Two. It stands as a testament to those who risked their lives daily to ensure our safety while reminding us never to forget the sacrifices made by previous generations.
