EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, as it showcases the discovery of a two thousand pound unexploded bomb in the garden of a house at Belgrave Road, Plymouth. The year was 1945, and the aftermath of World War II still lingered heavily on people's lives. In order to ensure everyone's safety, 300 individuals had to be evacuated until the skilled Bomb Disposal Squad successfully removed the potentially devastating bomb. The image transports us back to an era marked by conflict and uncertainty. It serves as a powerful reminder of the immense challenges faced by communities during wartime. The brave soldiers depicted in this photograph represent not only their own courage but also that of countless others who risked their lives for peace.
