EDITORS COMMENTS
Exercise London Pride: Troops of the Joint Services Command and Staff College (JSCC), under the direction of Sir Francis Festing, move a dummy Centurion tank during the military training exercise held on Salisbury Plain, England, between September 5-9, 1954. In this intriguing image, soldiers carefully maneuver the inflated rubber replica of the iconic British Centurion tank into position. The use of a dummy tank during the exercise allowed troops to practice tactics and strategies without the risk of actual damage or harm. The JSCC, established in 1947, is the United Kingdom's primary center for military education and training, providing staff officers with the skills and knowledge required to lead military formations effectively. The exercise, which took place on the expansive Salisbury Plain, offered an ideal setting for troops to test their abilities in various military scenarios. Sir Francis Festing, a prominent military figure, oversaw the exercise, ensuring that all participants gained valuable experience and insights to enhance their military careers.
