EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the Birmingham Post and Mail Archive, we are transported back to a significant moment in history. Meet Norman Edwards, an extraordinary man who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on both his community and the world. At 92 years old, Norman's distinguished presence is a testament to his remarkable journey as a veteran of the First World War. Hailing from Sutton Coldfield, he served as Chairman and Managing Director of the Metropolitan Cammell Carriage and Wagon Co Ltd. However, it is his valiant service during that fateful war that truly defines him. As part of the 1/6 Gloucesters within the esteemed 48th Division, Norman vividly recalls participating in the historic attack on Beaumont Hamel at dawn during his time at Somme. His bravery amidst unimaginable circumstances serves as an inspiration for generations to come. Captured in this photograph on June 26th, 1986 - a poignant moment frozen in time - Norman stands tall with pride etched across his face. The lines etched by age only add depth to his story; they speak volumes about resilience and sacrifice. This image encapsulates not just one man's incredible journey but also pays homage to all veterans who selflessly fought for our freedom during World War One. It reminds us never to forget their sacrifices or take our liberties for granted. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens into
