EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1970s, a soldier diligently examines a suspicious-looking box as part of his bomb disposal training at the Army School of Ammunition in Bramley, Hampshire. Established in 1958 and run by the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, this prestigious institution was responsible for equipping and training military personnel in the safe handling and disposal of explosives. The soldier, wearing the distinctive green beret and stripes on his sleeves, is deeply focused on the task at hand, his expression a mix of concentration and caution. The box in question, adorned with wires and other potentially dangerous components, lies ominously on the ground, a stark reminder of the risks involved in this vital line of work. The setting, with its rugged terrain and open sky, underscores the isolation and intensity of the soldier's mission. This image captures the essence of the 1970s military experience, with its blend of discipline, danger, and determination. The Army School of Ammunition at Bramley, Hampshire, played a crucial role in preparing soldiers for the challenges of defusing bombs and other explosive devices, ensuring the safety of military personnel and civilians alike.
