Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and bravery of the men of the 2nd Battalion Gordon Highlanders during the Battle of Kleve in February 1945. The scene shows the soldiers advancing into the town, which was located near the Dutch border and the Rhine, supported by Churchill tanks of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade. The battle was part of Operation VERITABLE, a major offensive launched by 21st Army Group to break through the difficult terrain of the Reichswald forest in North West Europe. The photograph, taken on February 11, 1945, depicts the intense and chaotic nature of war, with soldiers in the foreground focused on the task at hand while explosions and smoke fill the background. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men during World War Two." "The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique and powerful insight into the events of this significant battle. The men of the 2nd Battalion Gordon Highlanders, with their distinctive tartan kilts and berets, can be seen charging forward, their faces etched with concentration and resolve. The Churchill tanks of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade provide crucial support, their powerful guns blasting a path through the German defenses. The scene is one of intense action and danger, with the outcome of the battle uncertain." "The photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of the Allied forces during World War Two, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who fought to secure victory in Europe. It is a powerful and moving image that continues to resonate with audiences today, and is a valuable addition to any collection of military history or World War Two memorabilia.
