EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the intensity and innovation of the Home Front during World War Two, as a rocket gun battery comes to life in action. Dated 1941, the image depicts a trail of scores of rockets soaring towards the sky, their fiery tails illuminating the night. The rockets burst in explosions, adding to the chaotic and dynamic scene. This photograph is a testament to the technological advancements and the determination of the Allied forces during this pivotal period in history. The rocket gun battery was a crucial component of the war effort, providing a new and effective means of defense against enemy attacks. The use of rockets marked a significant shift in military strategy, offering greater range and firepower than traditional artillery. This photograph, part of a collection of 650 images compiled by the Commando Association, offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the technological and tactical developments of the time. The Second World War, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, was a global conflict that involved the majority of the world's nations—including the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom. The Home Front refers to the civilian population and their contributions to the war effort, including the production of weapons and supplies, rationing, and morale-boosting activities. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and innovations that defined the Home Front during this tumultuous time in history.
