EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating V2 rocket incident that occurred on Sidmouth Street during the Second World War. Taken by George Greenwell, it showcases the heroic efforts of the National Fire Service (N. F. S) as they remove casualties from the scene on 9th February 1945. The image transports us back to a time when cities were under constant threat from bombings, with civilians living in fear for their lives. The destruction caused by this particular attack is evident in the rubble-strewn street and collapsed buildings. It serves as a stark reminder of the immense devastation experienced during this period. In this snapshot, we witness members of the N. F. S diligently carrying injured individuals away from danger. Their bravery and dedication to saving lives amidst chaos are commendable. This photo encapsulates not only their selflessness but also highlights how ordinary citizens became heroes during times of crisis. As we reflect upon this moment frozen in time, it prompts us to remember those who lost their lives or suffered injuries during these tragic events. It also pays tribute to all those involved in civil defense efforts throughout World War II – individuals who worked tirelessly to protect communities and provide aid amid unimaginable circumstances. George Greenwell's photograph is an important historical document that preserves both the physical destruction caused by war and honors those who risked everything for others' safety.
