EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the intense battlegrounds of Tobruk during World War Two. The image showcases British field artillery in action, with Captain John Hay of Edinburgh taking charge and giving orders through a megaphone. Alongside him stands L/Bdr Leslie Browning, both men embodying courage and determination in the face of conflict. The scene is set against the backdrop of Libya's sandy terrain, highlighting the harsh realities faced by soldiers during this time. The year is 1941, a pivotal moment in history when nations were locked in fierce combat for control over strategic locations. Captain Hay's commanding presence can be felt as he directs his troops amidst chaos and danger. His voice amplified by the loudspeaker cuts through the noise of war, ensuring that every order is heard clearly by his comrades on the battlefield. This photograph captures not only a significant moment in military history but also pays tribute to all those who fought valiantly during World War Two. It serves as a reminder of their sacrifice and unwavering dedication to protect freedom and democracy. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by these soldiers who stood united against adversity – heroes whose stories deserve to be remembered for generations to come.
