EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Canadian troops arrived in Britain during World War II. As they disembarked from their ships, a sense of camaraderie filled the air as the troops chanted, "Hey hey, the gangs all here!". Their arrival was met with overwhelming gratitude from the hoards of British citizens lining the docks to greet them. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the immense sacrifice made by approximately 494,000 Canadian men and women who served in all branches of the service - army, navy, and air force - throughout their time in Britain. While this picture has been passed by censors for public viewing, its specific location within Britain remains undisclosed due to security concerns at that time. Taken on December 19th, 1939 during what is known as the "Phoney War" period before major conflicts erupted across Europe, this photograph encapsulates both hope and uncertainty. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints with utmost care and attention to detail, this historical artifact transports us back to one of humanity's darkest chapters. It stands as a testament to bravery and solidarity amidst global turmoil. Let it serve as a constant reminder of those who fought valiantly for freedom and peace during World War II – an everlasting tribute to our heroes in uniform.
