EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1939, just as the world was on the brink of war. The image showcases a group of Royal Naval reservists engaging in gunnery practice aboard HMS Flying Fox at Mardyke Wharf in Bristol, England. This beloved vessel had been an integral part of the local scene since 1923 but sadly met its fate when it was towed away for scrapping in 1973. The photograph captures a significant moment in history, as tensions were escalating and preparations for conflict were underway. These brave sailors are seen diligently honing their skills with an anti-aircraft gun, symbolizing their readiness to defend their country during this tumultuous period known as World War Two. The setting itself exudes a sense of nostalgia, transporting us to a time when Britain's home front played a crucial role in supporting military efforts. Against the backdrop of South West England, these dedicated men undergo rigorous training that would prepare them for the challenges they would soon face at sea. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who served in the Royal Navy during one of humanity's darkest chapters. Their unwavering commitment and determination shine through even today, serving as a testament to their bravery and resilience amidst adversity.
