1943 D Day Evacuation Farmer Operation Overlord Slapton Tractor Threshing Machine
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1940s, during the Second World War. The image showcases a local farmer with his steam tractor engine and threshing machine, as they are seen leaving Slapton at the beginning of the evacuation in November 1943. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of life on the home front during one of history's most significant conflicts. The farmer stands proudly beside his powerful steam tractor engine, which was an essential tool for agricultural work in those times. Behind him, the imposing threshing machine looms large, ready to be transported to its next destination. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and anticipation as Operation Overlord (commonly known as D-Day) loomed on the horizon. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary people were affected by war and had to adapt their lives accordingly. The rural backdrop adds depth to this historical moment captured by Official from Memory Lane Prints. It reminds us that even amidst global turmoil, everyday tasks like farming continued - albeit under extraordinary circumstances. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but feel connected to our past and reflect on the resilience displayed by individuals like this local farmer who played their part in shaping history during World War II.
