EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to July 1949, as military vehicles take over Abbey Road in Torquay. This print captures a nostalgic glimpse of post-war England, where the streets were filled with jeeps and soldiers instead of cars and pedestrians. The advertising signs lining the road tell their own story of that era - Ovaltine, Guinness, and Oxydol proudly displayed for all to see. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era when the country was still recovering from the ravages of war. These military vehicles symbolize strength, resilience, and unity as they navigate through the streets of Devon's charming coastal town. Each jeep carries its own tale of heroism and sacrifice. This photograph not only transports us back to a specific moment in history but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. It reminds us that even amidst turmoil and uncertainty, life goes on – businesses continue to advertise their products while soldiers carry out their duties. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance of remembering our past – both its triumphs and tribulations. Military vehicles may no longer dominate Abbey Road today, but this image serves as a powerful reminder that history shapes our present.
