EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the North African Campaign of World War II, as Allied forces prepare to fire a 4.5 inch gun near Tarhuna in February 1943. The Eighth Army, under the command of General Bernard Montgomery, was making its way towards Tripoli at the time, marking a significant turning point in the war's Mediterranean theatre. The determination and focus of the soldiers in this image are palpable, as they take aim and ready their weapon for action. The 4.5 inch gun was a key component of the Allied arsenal during this period, capable of delivering accurate and powerful shells over long distances. This photograph is part of a collection of 34 images, which together provide a comprehensive record of various theatres in World War Two, from the Home Front to the Eastern Front, the Middle East, and the Far East, including New Guinea. Dated 1943, this photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this global conflict.
