EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the Spahis, light cavalry regiments of the French army, as they guard airfields in North Africa during World War II. The Spahis were renowned for their recruitment primarily from the indigenous populations of Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco. In this particular scene, we witness a heartwarming interaction between members of a Spahis regiment and the crew of an RAF Wellington bomber just before takeoff. As the aircraft prepares to embark on its mission, one can sense both anticipation and camaraderie among these brave individuals. The diverse backgrounds of the crew members are highlighted here - Sergeant Murray from South Shields serving as a bomber aimer; Sergeant Fox hailing from Clayburn, B. C. , Canada acting as navigator; Sergeant Seville representing York as pilot; Sergeant Stone from Coventry serving as second pilot; Sergeant Firrell guarding at rear gunner position all the way from Hastings; and finally, wireless operator Sergeant Morgan joining them from Birmingham. Their leader Squadron Leader Garrad stands tall with his flight commander role originating from Scarborough. This photograph not only showcases the multinational cooperation within Allied forces but also pays tribute to those who fought valiantly during this tumultuous period. It serves as a reminder of their bravery and dedication to protect freedom amidst war-torn landscapes.
