EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of camaraderie and resilience during the Second World War. In this remarkable image, we see Sergeant Roy Roberts, hailing from 62 Cardiff Road in Taffs Well, proudly standing alongside Sergeant Tom Harvard of 21 Thomas Street. Both men were not only dedicated soldiers serving in the Welsh Guards but also talented rugby players before the war. Sergeant Roy Roberts, a formidable Second Row forward for Cardiff rugby team, stands tall with an air of determination etched on his face. His rugged appearance speaks volumes about his unwavering commitment to both his country and sport. Beside him stands Sergeant Tom Harvard, who showcased his skills as a player for Swinton Rugby Club prior to joining the military. The photograph was taken on January 4th, 1944 - a time when the world was engulfed in conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder of how these brave individuals put their lives on hold to defend their nation's freedom. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, it is impossible not to be moved by the bravery and sacrifice embodied by these two soldiers-turned-rugby-players. Their story represents countless others who fought valiantly during World War II while still holding onto their passions outside of battle. This extraordinary image is part of Memory Lane Prints' collection that commemorates heroes like Sergeant Roy Roberts and Sergeant Tom Harvard – ordinary men turned extraordinary warriors – forever immortalized through photography.
