EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fitters Local Protection" offers a glimpse into the world of military tactics during World War Two. Taken in 1943 by an English photographer, it is part of an album compiled by Major W H J Sale. In the image, we see a soldier lying on the ground next to a white scout car, attentively scanning the horizon. The soldier's military uniform blends seamlessly with the desert surroundings, showcasing effective camouflage techniques employed during combat. The vehicle itself stands as a symbol of defence and protection amidst the harsh North African landscape. The intense atmosphere is heightened by the presence of a machine gun mounted on top of the scout car. This powerful weapon serves as a reminder of both the danger faced by soldiers and their determination to defend their comrades and country. The photograph captures not only moments frozen in time but also tells stories of bravery and resilience exhibited by soldiers during this tumultuous period in history. It provides us with a window into what life was like for these courageous individuals who fought valiantly against all odds. As we gaze at this remarkable image, we are transported back to that era - witnessing firsthand how these soldiers navigated through treacherous terrains while upholding their duty to protect and serve.
