EDITORS COMMENTS
Round the coasts of Britain, a ceaseless watch is maintained by the brave men of the Royal Artillery Coastal Defence Regiment. Working hand in hand with units of the Royal Navy, these dedicated shore-based personnel tirelessly observe and challenge both friend and foe at sea and in the skies above. With unwavering vigilance, recognition signals received are swiftly transmitted to the batteries. Even on the formidable sea fortresses where life can be harsh during winter gales, this same dedication remains steadfast. In this print from July 1942, we witness a night shoot on one such sea fortress. The searchlights pierce through darkness as six-inch guns thunderously fire upon a target that has been picked up. Each explosion illuminates not only the sky but also serves as a testament to their commitment to protecting our shores. This snapshot from an era marked by conflict showcases not just soldiers and weapons but also represents resilience, determination, and sacrifice. It reminds us of those who selflessly served their country during World War II - heroes whose efforts ensured our safety amidst turbulent times. As we reflect upon this historical image captured by Official photographers for Memory Lane Prints, let us remember that it is through their bravery that peace prevailed.
