EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a devastating incident during World War II - the V2 Rocket incident at Tewkesbury, Seven Sisters. The image showcases the sheer destruction caused by this air raid, with 60 houses reduced to rubble and 900 people left homeless on that fateful day of January 20th, 1945. In this snapshot from history, we witness the grim reality faced by communities caught in the crossfire of conflict. The scene is filled with chaos as emergency services scramble to respond to the damage inflicted by this flying bomb. Brave firemen from the auxiliary fire service can be seen tirelessly battling flames and working relentlessly to salvage what remains. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of life on the home front during World War II. It encapsulates not only the physical devastation but also highlights resilience and determination in times of crisis. George Greenwell's lens has frozen a moment forever etched in memory - an emblematic representation of how war ravaged cities and uprooted lives. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember those who lost their homes and loved ones during these tumultuous times. May it serve as a testament to our collective duty to strive for peace so that such scenes remain confined within photographs like these rather than becoming part of our present reality once again.
