EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of victory during the Second World War, as a Canadian gunner carefully inspects a collection of captured German 14-inch munitions in Boulogne, France, in September 1944. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the intense and protracted battle that had taken place in this region just weeks prior. The siege of Boulogne, which lasted several weeks, saw the Allied forces, including the Canadian Army, relentlessly attacking the German defenses. The German artillery positions, which had previously threatened the strategic town of Dover in England with their long-range shells, were finally overrun on September 22, 1944. The captured munitions, including the ones shown in the picture, would have been destined for use against Dover had the tide of the war not turned in favor of the Allies. The Canadian gunner, with a determined expression on his face, examines the German shells with a sense of pride and accomplishment. The image is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers involved in the battle, as well as the significant impact of the Allied victory on the outcome of the war. The historical significance of this photograph is underscored by the fact that it was taken on the very day that Boulogne was liberated from German control. The image, which is part of the Illustrated London News (ILN) collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique glimpse into the events of the Second World War and the pivotal role played by the Canadian forces in the liberation of Boulogne.
