EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph and bravery during the darkest days of World War II. Lieutenant Robert Davies (1900-1975), a heroic figure, stands proudly beside an 8ft bomb that his bomb disposal unit had successfully removed from the mud near St. Paul's Cathedral on September 15th, 1940. The bomb had fallen only 26ft away from the cathedral wall, posing an imminent threat to the iconic landmark and the city of London. The image portrays the intense focus and determination in Davies' eyes as he surveys the defused bomb, a testament to the courage and skill of the bomb disposal team. The photograph also reveals the sense of relief and accomplishment shared by the team, as they had managed to save one of London's most cherished historical sites from destruction. The bomb was carefully transported to Hackney Marshes, where it was safely disposed of at a remote location. The three-day operation was a critical success, and Davies' quick thinking and expert handling of the situation earned him the George Cross, the highest civilian honor for gallantry. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the heroism and resilience displayed by ordinary people during the Blitz, and the crucial role that the bomb disposal units played in protecting London and its people from the devastating effects of the war. The image is a powerful testament to the indomitable spirit of the British people and their unwavering commitment to preserving their history and heritage in the face of adversity.
