EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a crucial moment in history during the Second World War. Taken in South Wales in March 1940, it showcases the Anti Aircraft Sound Locator Units that played a vital role in defending Britain's skies. The dedicated operators are seen attentively listening out for engine noise, their ears finely tuned to determine direction and elevation information. These brave individuals formed an integral part of the searchlight control station, relaying critical data to aid in identifying enemy aircraft. Their unwavering focus and acute hearing skills were essential for protecting both military installations and civilian populations from aerial attacks. The image transports us back to a time when sound was not just heard but harnessed as a powerful tool of defense. Amidst the backdrop of rolling fields, these acoustic devices stand tall as symbols of resilience and determination against an imminent threat. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the countless unsung heroes who worked tirelessly on the home front during World War II. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their dedication and sacrifice for our freedom. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints from Western Mail Archive, this historical gem offers us a glimpse into one chapter of British military history that should never be forgotten.
