EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Bernard Alfieri, we are transported back to the summer of 1939 in England. The image showcases a group of soldiers from the esteemed 30th Surrey Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery during their training camp. Engaged in a mundane yet essential task for any military unit - peeling spuds for their lunchtime mess. The atmosphere is filled with an undeniable sense of camaraderie as these brave men diligently work together, donning their uniforms proudly. Despite the impending war that would soon engulf Europe, there is an air of happiness and unity among them. Their smiles speak volumes about their resilience and determination to serve their country. These soldiers embody the spirit of the home front during World War Two – ordinary individuals coming together to face extraordinary circumstances. As they peel potatoes into buckets with focused precision, one cannot help but admire their dedication to maintaining a well-fed troop amidst challenging times. This simple act symbolizes not only sustenance but also a reminder that even in wartime, life must go on. Bernard Alfieri's photograph encapsulates both the hardships faced by those serving in World War Two and the unwavering spirit that carried them through it all. It serves as a poignant reminder of our history and honors those who sacrificed so much for our freedom today.
