EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from the September 21, 1940 issue of The Illustrated London News tells the remarkable story of Lieutenant Robert Davies, a British hero who played a pivotal role in saving St. Paul's Cathedral during the intense bombing campaign of World War II, known as the Blitz. The image illustrates the 8ft bomb that had fallen just 26ft away from the cathedral wall on September 15, 1940. Lieutenant Davies, a dedicated member of the bomb disposal unit, led the tireless efforts to remove the dangerous explosive from the muddy Thames River. The operation to defuse the bomb took an astonishing three days, as the team worked under immense pressure to prevent the cathedral from being destroyed. The heroism displayed by Lieutenant Davies and his team was a testament to their courage and determination in the face of adversity. The George Cross, the highest civilian decoration for gallantry, was awarded to Lieutenant Davies in recognition of his exceptional bravery and the vital role he played in safeguarding this iconic landmark. This historical page from The Illustrated London News provides a captivating glimpse into the heroism and resilience of the British people during the darkest days of World War II.
