EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a significant moment in history - a Scottish command exercise witnessed by none other than the King himself. The image, captured on 26th April 1942, showcases brave men landing from landing craft amidst a dense smoke screen. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the tension and anticipation that must have filled the air during this training exercise. These soldiers were preparing themselves for the ultimate test of their skills and courage - D-Day and Operation Overlord. The rifles held firmly in their hands symbolize both their determination to protect their country and their unwavering loyalty towards each other. As they step onto foreign soil, these troops embody the spirit of sacrifice that defined World War Two. It is remarkable to witness such an important event being observed by royalty. The presence of the King serves as a reminder of how crucial these exercises were for national security and morale during those tumultuous times. This photograph not only captures a momentous occasion but also pays tribute to all those who fought valiantly during World War Two. It stands as a testament to the bravery and resilience of our armed forces, reminding us never to forget their sacrifices.
