EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the chilling winter of January 1945 during World War Two. Corporal H Wells of Plumpton, Sussex, stands determinedly outside a Mitchell bomber in Belgium, armed with a cloth to combat the icy conditions that have plagued the aircraft overnight. The perspex panels on both sides have been encased in a thick layer of frost, obstructing visibility for any potential mission ahead. Inside the plane, L. A. C. B. E. Carrier from Leicester peers through the window, observing his comrade's diligent efforts to clear away the frozen barrier. Their faces reveal unwavering determination amidst freezing temperatures as they prepare for their next assignment. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those who fought valiantly during wartime. It symbolizes resilience and camaraderie within an unforgiving environment where every action mattered. The image is brought to life through its stark contrast between light and dark tones, emphasizing the severity of weather conditions endured by these brave men. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Memory Lane Prints' collection, we are reminded once again of their sacrifice and courage that helped shape our world today.
