EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of disembarkation for M4 Sherman tanks from a Landing Craft Tank (LCT) during the D-Day landings in 1944. The image is part of an album compiled by Major Wilfred Herbert James Sale, MC, of the 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters). The album contains 210 photographs, documenting various locations in England and France during the North West Europe campaign of World War Two. Major Sale's album offers a unique perspective on the military effort during this pivotal period in history. In this photograph, we see the tanks' exhaust stacks billowing smoke as they drive off the LCT, ready to make their way towards the shore. The image conveys a sense of urgency and determination, as the Allied forces pressed on with their invasion of Normandy. The 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) was a British Army reserve regiment that saw active service during World War Two. The regiment's sharpshooters were renowned for their marksmanship and played a crucial role in providing long-range fire support for the infantry. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who took part in the D-Day landings and the broader campaign in North West Europe. It is a testament to the meticulous planning and execution of the Allied invasion, which ultimately led to the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation.
