EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Sexton Self Propelled Gun, a formidable weapon used during the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, in 1944. The Sexton, a 25-pounder gun, was named after Dr. Robert Kiln, who proudly presents the print in Espace Robert Kiln, a museum dedicated to military history. Dr. Kiln's father, a brave soldier, fought in the very same battlefield where this gun was deployed. Initially designed to be a mobile weapon, the Sexton's engine had to be sold to raise the necessary funds for its production. This compromise did not diminish its impact on the battlefield, as it proved to be an effective and versatile weapon, capable of providing accurate and sustained fire support for the advancing Allied troops. The Sexton Self Propelled Gun, with its imposing presence and powerful artillery, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Allied forces during the Normandy landings. This photograph, taken in the aftermath of the battle, offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Dr. Kiln's father and the crucial role that weapons like the Sexton played in the outcome of the war. The Sexton Self Propelled Gun on display in Espace Robert Kiln serves as a powerful reminder of the past and a tribute to the bravery and determination of those who fought in the Normandy landings. This photograph, with its rich historical significance, is a must-see for anyone interested in military history and the events that shaped the world we live in today.
